January 2606. TribCity is at war with itself. The old dictatorship has been crushed, but the population have turned on each other. The army cannot stop the fighting, nor the ever-mounting casualties. They can merely clean up the mess.

The weather, as usual, takes me along for a ride \u2013 as I carom between feeling genuine pleasure and the grim need to merely endure. I spend a lot of time outdoors and \u2013 frankly \u2013 I just like it better when its nice out. Why is that? Because I have a brain in my head, and nerve endings near my skin, enabling me to feel sensations. (Cold, for instance, and wet.)
In adulthood, I acquired Pumpkin \u2014 another giant orange tabby \u2014 who loped through our lives in Washington and Chicago \u2014 and summered with us on Main Street in Freeville. (I devoted an entire chapter of my first book, The Mighty Queens of Freeville, to Pumpkin \u2014 who quite honestly deserved a book of his own.)
Winner of the PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award Winner of the Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social JusticeOne of BuzzFeed's "21 Amazing New Books You Need to Read This Spring""In a Day's Work is a . . . much-needed addition to the literature on sexual harassment in the U.S. . . . [B]uilding a cross-class movement as Yeung shows, will mean learning to stop unseeing the working women around us."The New York Review of Books"[Yeung] tells compelling stories that illustrate systemic problems without reducing people to mere players in a legal argument. She skillfully knits case studies into rigorous policy analysis. Most important, Yeung traces paths toward progress beyond merely raising awareness."The Washington Post"As pundits opine about #MeToo in the pages of every major newspaper, Yeung does something better: Rather than giver her own view on how to solve the scourge of sexual violence, she shows us what these workers themselves have been doing to address it. . . In a Day's Work shows us how to stamp out sexual violence: We don't have to reinvent the wheel; these women have been leading the way. All it takes is to join them."Bookforum"The author mitigates the difficult material by bringing humanity, empathy, and hope to each page. . . . The book concludes with guardedly hopeful descriptions of workplace training programs, government regulation, and union advocacy. Even more moving, however, is the sense of a reporter deeply committed to her sources and her material ."Publisher Weekly"A timely, intensely intimate, and relevant exposé on a greatly disregarded sector of the American workforce."Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"In a Day's Work is exactly what I've been waiting forsome serious attention to the great majority of sexual harassment victims, who aren't Hollywood stars but the low-paid women whom we depend on to pick farm produce, clean offices, and care for our children. Bernice Yeung's scalding exposé should dramatically affect the way we see women's abuse in the workplace."Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed "In a Day's Work is a must-read for all who believe time's up on abusive employment practices for all workers. Yeung shows us through these courageous stories that the time to change the balance of power is now."Saru Jayaraman, author of Behind the Kitchen Door
