?The role of women in Third World economies is now coming under intense scrutiny. This detailed survey of migrant women in Lima is a fine example of such new research. Well written, based on extensive survey data, and including excellent photographs, the book details the role of migrant women in the servant and street-seller class. Bunster and Chaney's claim--that migration for these women does not bring mobility or lowered fertility--is controversial.... The story of these desperately poor but proud women is told with sympathy and understanding.
