This superb collection uniquely explores a range of genres and mediums to highlight the complexity of employment in the literary and visual representations of and by marginalized women. The provocative and wide-ranging essays explore novel, drama, poetry, visual art, television, and popular culture by examining issues related to labor conditions, intersectionality, stereotyping, exploitation, and invisibility, as well as the achievement and empowerment provided by work. Bringing attention to the ways literary and popular representations of women's employment have been stereotyped and gendered, this collection challenges accepted notions and deepens our understanding of the role of work in identity formation and cultural connection for marginalized women.--Tanya Heflin, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
