Abstract:

Katy O’Leary studied domestic servants in Brazil for her undergraduate thesis. She discovered that there are more women in domestic service in Brazil than in any other occupation, and they tend to live in poverty. To compensate for low wages, women mostly rely on family and the Catholic Church.
