Uncover the hidden realities of outsourced housework with Lotika Singha’s groundbreaking research. This pivotal book presents a vital cross-cultural analysis, focusing on the social contexts of domestic service in both the UK and importantly, India.

It challenges prevailing myths and feminist viewpoints on housework, offering a fresh perspective on gender and labour. Essential reading for sociology scholars, gender studies students, and professionals engaged with domestic work dynamics in India.
