Description
The author of this volume focuses on the women left behind by men migrating to West Asia for work. She discusses the experiences and problems these women face, as well as how social change occurs in a society when male members migrate. Profiles of ten women serve to highlight the various coping strategies incorporated in light of their differing social, economic and demographic circumstances.
