Satpute is called ‘the financial head’ of the family, a description usually applied to men,
because it is with her earnings that most of the household bills are paid. Most of her salary is

Satpute’s mother, mother-in-law and sister help her whenever they can. The poor lady is
content with the leftover food that her employers pass on to her, grateful for their generosity.

or any sort of medical reimbursement. Even when she asks for it, it is denied to her. Satpute,
like almost all domestic workers, does not realize that she is being exploited. The poor, illiterate
workers are in no position to fight for their rights. Their insecurity forces them to silently accept
whatever is offered. They never protest or raise their voices against the injustice.
Though her life is a constant struggle, Satpute finds joy in the hope of a better life for her
children. She is proud of the fact that her children are good at studies and she is confident that
