Summary
This study is based on the narratives of part-time women domestic workers residing in two slum colonies in Kolkata who talk about their work and lives. By moving continuously between the workplace and the homes of the workers, it talks not only about labour but labouring lives. It also discusses public policy and politics with their historical negligence of this section of workers, as well as the recent attempts to give them voice and visibility.
