Críticas:

... offer(s) valuable insights into the social processes shaping lower middle class and working class women's working lives. (IJPS)

This book is a fitting recognition of the tremendous odds against which women continue to go through life/work, creating spaces, inventing strategies and constantly renegotiating their status. (The Book Review, New Delhi)

Mirza brings out with great sensitivity seemingly unimportant issues that hamper women's participation and growth in the formal labour market ... Rich in detail and told well, Mirza's debut effort is both informative and insightful. (The Book Review, New Delhi)

Reseña del editor:

During the last decade women, particularly from the conservative lower-middle calsses, have increasingly entered the office sector in urban Pakistan. The book analyses how women's integration into this traditionally male field of employment has changed their everyday lives and lifestyles, as well as office cultures, and societal perceptions of female office workers and working women at large.
