Abstract
What did you do yesterday? This is the question that animates this chapter. Analyzing the time used in social reproductive and paid labor by eight women across class boundaries in one day of their lives in New Delhi, this chapter explores how women from different social classes organize their paid and unpaid work, and how this is narrated, valued, and translated into everyday strategies of mitigating and replenishing to reverse depletion? How is this labor valued by those who do it and those who don’t? What philosophical, gendered, political, and social histories are harnessed in these narratives on work? The research presented in this chapter suggests that women experience depletion through modes of caring; those who are in paid employment value their work; and all women wish to be valued for their work within the home.
