One Way Ticket (1983) examines the 'hidden armies' of migrant women workers who have fulfilled a demand for low-skilled, low paid and insecure work in both the formal and informal economies of Western Europe. It presents a new focus for the examination of labour migration and of the specific character of female employment.
