In Workers Like All the Rest of Them, Elizabeth Quay Hutchison
recounts the long struggle for domestic workers' recognition and
rights in Chile across the twentieth century. Hutchison traces the
legal and social history of domestic workers and their rights,
outlining their transition from slavery to servitude. For most of
the twentieth century, domestic service remained one of the key
"underdeveloped" sectors in Chile's modernizing economy. Hutchison
argues that the predominance of women in that underpaid,
underregulated labor sector provides one key to persistent gender
and class inequality. Through archival research, firsthand
accounts, and interviews with veteran activists, Hutchison
challenges domestic workers' exclusion from Chilean history and
reveals how and under what conditions they mobilized for change,
forging alliances with everyone from Catholic Church leaders and
legislators to feminists and political party leaders. Hutchison
contributes to a growing global conversation among activists and
scholars about domestic workers' rights, providing a lens for
understanding how the changing structure of domestic work and
worker activism has both perpetuated and challenged forms of
ethnic, gender, and social inequality.
