520			_aYeung takes readers on a journey across the country, introducing us to women who came to America to escape grinding poverty only to encounter sexual violence in the United States. In a Day{u2019}s Work exposes the underbelly of economies filled with employers who take advantage of immigrant women{u2019}s need to earn a basic living. When these women find the courage to speak up, Yeung reveals, they are too often met by apathetic bosses and underresourced government agencies. But In a Day{u2019}s Work also tells a story of resistance, introducing a group of courageous allies who challenge dangerous and discriminatory workplace conditions alongside aggrieved workers{u2014}and win. Moving and inspiring, this book will change our understanding of the lives of immigrant women. -- Goodreads.
