Every day, women head into fields, hotels and houses to pick crops, make beds and care for other people’s children. And along with low pay and long hours, they endure sexual harassment and assault. Investigative journalist Bernice Yeung joins us to talk about how women working jobs at the bottom of the economic spectrum are so blatantly taken advantage of by the men who employ them. Her new book is called “In a Day’s Work: The Fight to End Sexual Violence Against America’s Most Vulnerable Workers” (The New Press).
