Women's Untold Stories: Breaking Silence, Talking Back, Voicing Complexity
Mary Romero

Routledge, 1999

Honest, vivid, and diverse, the essays collected in Women's Untold Stories reveal women's narratives that have largely gone unheard--stories of women of different ages, races, sexual orientations and ethnicities. These stories are outside the "master narrative", describing experiences that have been suppressed, ignored, or are somehow difficult to tell. The stories reveal race, class and gender pressures with accounts of a Mexican maid's ...

Visual Basic for Testers

16 reviews
Mary Romero Sweeney

Apress, 2001

Good Book for Testers
This book is exactly what the title says: an introduction to Visual Basic for testers. It succeeds wonderfully at that. It is not a book about testing. If you already know VB and want to know how to test your application, there are a few chapters near the end that you will find useful but this book is not really intended for you.

Mary Romero

Routledge, 2002

A Classic!
This book is the classic study of the exploitation of domestic service workers in the United States. Kudos to the publisher for providing this 10th anniversary commemorative edition! In this book, which has aged extraordinarily well, Professor Romero studies the lives of those invisible people -- often immigrants and people of color -- who clean the homes of the middle and upper classes. What ...
