The main argument of this book is about how we need to look at globalisation, technology and labour in a realistic way by getting rid of the mystic illusions around the grand phenomenon of globalisation, the book is mainly focused on how women are used as gendered labour for certain tasks and how it is leading to the bigger exploitation when compared to their male counterparts. The author is also offering a birds-eye view of globalization's functioning, processes, and driving forces in the area of labour. She studied four major areas of the economy where women are working: the first one in electronic industry, second on garment workers, the third one is home-based workers at manufacturing processes industries and the fourth on middle-class women who are working in Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES). This offers an analysis of the various changes and effects caused by the new globalization policies and paradigms which are especially affecting the living and working conditions on women workers. She also analyses the global sectorial trends and their ramifications and cutting through the hype on India's growth statistics, which negatively affected the poorest and middle-class labouring section. The most important point raised by the author is the increasing insecurity emerged from this changed political, economic and social paradigm changes.
