dc.description.abstractThere are over a million women domestic workers in South Africa who are largely overworked,underpaid, unprotected, and undervalued and who are entrenched in a system that denies and reduces the value of their work and their skills. Such conditions are invariably tied to contexts that are historically located. Domestic work is both necessary and valuable; however, in a context dominated by the structured social inequalities of race, class and gender, both their roles in society and their various skills and capacities are too often overlooked. This study explores and tells the stories of women's lives as domestic workers and speaks of their experiences as women, as black women, and as domestic workers.en_ZA
