In a Day’s Work

The Fight to End Sexual Violence Against America’s Most Vulnerable Workers

By: Bernice Yeung

A timely, intensely intimate, and relevant exposé." —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) The Pulitzer Prize finalist's powerful examination of the hidden stories of workers overlooked by #MeToo Apple orchards in bucolic Washington State. Office parks in Southern California under cover of night. The home of an elderly man in Miami. These are some of the workplaces where women have suffered brutal sexual assaults and shocking harassment at the hands of their employers, often with little or no official recourse. In this heartrending but ultimately inspiring tale, investigative journalist and Pulitzer Prize finalist Bernice Yeung exposes the epidemic of sexual violence levied against the low-wage workers largely overlooked by #MeToo, and charts their quest for justice. In a Day's Work reveals the underbelly of hidden economies teeming with employers who are in the practice of taking advantage of immigrant women. But it also tells a timely story of resistance, introducing a group of courageous allies who challenge the status quo of violations alongside aggrieved workers—and win.

Tween Girls' Dressing and Young Femininity in Singapore

Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast?

By: Bernice Loh

This book provides an insight into girls’ cultural identities and young femininities through an understanding of tween girls’ dressing in Singapore. The book adopts a girl-centred approach to shed light on the narratives and experiences of young Singaporean girls that have often been overlooked. It draws on the conversations with young Singaporean girls aged 8 to 12 to understand how they wanted to dress, from where they gained their inspiration, and what the social factors were that influenced their dressing. Through understanding how girls want to fashion themselves, the book shows that it is imprecise to discuss issues based on the assumption that there is one dominant, ‘correct’ way to grow up as a young person in Singapore. This book unpacks how young Singaporean girls negotiate their cultural identities through clothing that do not simply conform to or reflect their roles as students. It also shows how girlhood in Singapore is multi-faceted and the values and meanings that tween girls’ attach to their dressing intersect at the personal, social, and cultural level. The book offers new ways of approaching and looking at girls’ adult-like dressing that move beyond the discourse of sexualisation. In establishing a space for young Singaporean girls’ voices in an area that has been dominated by studies from the West, this book also shows how the focus on tween girls in Asia can contribute to and advance the current state of girls’ studies.

Never Go Hungry Again!

By: Bernice Ng,Danielle Dagampat

In 1939, in a small village, a toddler girl is abandoned by her parents who leave for America in the hopes of building a better life. She is all alone and struggles to survive. Through many dealings with death and even her own near death experiences, grueling labor, and starvation, she is never allowed to be a child. She has no option but to painfully endure what no child should ever have to. Miraculously, she survives her traumatic childhood and makes her way to America. She is then given the name "Betty". Come what may, Betty survives all that she did only to be reunited with strangers...which are her parents and siblings! Amidst difficulties, cultural challenges, and hardship, Betty manages to build a new life in America. She fills the void of love in her heart by having her own family and serving others.
