Sheila Bapat: The Domestic Workers Rights Movement- Making the Invisible, Visible

Bapat’s book, Part of the Family: Nannies, Housekeepers, Caregivers and the Battle for Domestic Workers Rights, chronicles the rising political and social movement to secure labor protections for domestic workers who toil in our homes cleaning, cooking, and caring for our children and elders. Through interviews with the leaders and activists who are forging new and unlikely political alliances among workers, employers, policymakers and other social justice movements, as well as analysis of the historical underpinnings of the current fight for improved conditions and protections for domestic workers, this important and timely book will shine an overdue light on the invisible laborers who are so critical to our economy (and our families).
