Maids have become an inseparable part of the daily lives of middle-class urban households in India. Despite the fact that increasing numbers of poor women are joining this profession, very little has been written about them, especially the part-time domestic workers, each of whom services a number of households at a time. They are not accorded their rightful status as workers either by the employers, their own families, the government or the traditional trade unions. Isolated in the privacy of employers homes, the problem of recognizing their work or organizing them is the same one as for women isolated in their own homes. Another important reason is that most such women are rendered voiceless by their social location: unlettered; staying in illegal settlements; migrants; working to survive; performing feminine work, both paid and unpaid, and both devalued. This book is, therefore, about making the unheard heard. It draws from personal narratives of part-time women domestic workers residing in two slum settlements of Kolkata, who speak about their work, lives, dreams, and despairs. By moving between the workplace and the homes of the workers, this book makes a departure from general accounts of labour and instead talks about labouring lives. The book also discusses public policy and politics which have historically neglected this section of workers as well as the recent efforts to give them visibility and voice.

Migrasi perempuan sebagai pekerja rumah tangga PRT telah menjadi sebuah fenomena hubungan internasional yang masih minim dibahas dalam literatur akademis. Pembahasan dalam literatur mengenai migrasi perempuan sebagai PRT seringkali terfokus kepada bagaimana mereka merupakan korban yang rentan terhadap berbagai subordinasi dan opresi. Perempuan PRT migran telah dijuluki sebagai pahlawan devisa dalam istilah populer di Indonesia, namun mereka masih direpresentasikan sebagai korban yang tidak berdaya. Tinjauan pustaka dalam tulisan ini memperlihatkan bahwa terdapat kesenjangan literatur dalam membahas keberdayaan yang dimiliki para perempuan PRT selama proses migrasi. Penelitian ini berupaya untuk mengisi kesenjangan tersebut dengan menyorot agensi yang dimiliki para perempuan PRT migran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus feminis terhadap pengalaman enam perempuan PRT migran yang telah kembali ke Indonesia. Dengan menganalisis perjuangan para perempuan tersebut dalam memberdayakan diri mereka pada saat maupun setelah mengalami berbagai bentuk opresi, akan terlihat bagaimana agensi telah dimanifestasikan oleh para perempuan PRT migran selama migrasi. Pada akhirnya, penelitian ini mengungkapkan bagaimana perempuan PRT migran telah memanifestasikan keberdayaan mereka melalui pembuatan keputusan bermigrasi dalam struktur patriarkis, kemampuan untuk melawan struktur dengan aktivisme, serta dengan menjadi agen pembangunan dan perubahan bagi komunitasnya.

The migration of women as domestic workers has become an international relations phenomenon that still lacks academic attention. The literatures discussing about migration of women as domestic workers has focused on representing them as victims who are vulnerable towards many forms of subordination and oppression. Women migrant domestic workers have been commonly addressed as ldquo heroes of foreign exchange rdquo in Indonesia, yet they are also still represented as powerless victims. The literature review in this research shows that there is a literature gap in the discussion of women migrant domestic workers during the migration process. This research seeks to fill in that gap by highlighting the agency of women migrant domestic workers. This research uses the feminist case study method towards the experience of six women migrant domestic workers who have returned to Indonesia. The author believes that by analyzing the struggle of those women in empowering themselves both during and after oppression, it will show how agency is manifested by these women migrant domestic workers throughout the migratory process. Through this research, it will be revealed how women migrant domestic workers have manifested their empowerment through their decision to migrate in a patriarchal structure, their capability in defying structure through activism, and also through becoming agents of development and change for their communities.
