This is about a group of rural women in Vietnam who leave their husbands and children at home and come to Hanoi, often for weeks or more at a time, to work as roving street vendors. The book delves into the rural and urban lives of these women in an attempt to examine the nature of the job that they perform, why they perform it and importantly why it is they and not their husbands who migrate in order to find work.
