Essay "From Inside and Outside" (invited). Through two contrasting women, the essay describes the profile of Indian domestic workers: the "traditional" domestic worker who shows "loyalty" to her employer and says she does not need an employment contract, and the woman who has come to organize domestic workers and assert workers' rights.
