The Pulitzer Prize finalist's powerful examination of the hidden stories of workers overlooked by #MeToo

In a Day's Work reveals the underbelly of hidden economies teeming with employers who are in the practice of taking advantage of immigrant women. But it also tells a timely story of resistance, introducing a group of courageous allies who challenge the status quo of violations alongside aggrieved workers--and win.
