Fumie Ohashi is a Japanese sociologist and Professor at Ochanomizu University. Her research focuses on gender in contemporary China, migrant domestic workers, reproductive labor, and the ways marketization and globalization reshape women’s work and everyday lives. In "Gendai Chūgoku no Ijū Kaji Rōdōsha: Nōson-Toshi Kankei to Saiseisan Rōdō no Jendā Poritikusu," she draws on fieldwork among rural migrant women working as domestic workers in Beijing. The book examines how the paid domestic and care work that enables urban women to participate in the labor market is often transferred to women from rural areas, revealing inequalities and forms of solidarity that emerge between rural and urban women and between those who employ domestic workers and those who perform the work.
