Synopsis

In the Far East, the amah was usually a nanny. Very often, though, she was also the major-domo, the cook and the parlourmaid, the housemaid and the laundress, working a fifteen-hour day with only two half-day holidays a month. Kenneth Gaw has written a definitive history of these remarkable
women.
