In Taiwan, small-scale subcontracting factories of 30 employees or less make items for export, like the wooden jewelry boxes. These factories are found in rice fields and urban areas, front yards and living rooms, mostly employing married women. This book studies the experiences of the married women who work in this satellite system of factories.
