Within the context of the Mexican upper middle class and high society, i am interested in the
socio-economic power relationships that exists between women who are employed as ‘maids’ and their employers, as well as the value of support they give to these families.

The work explores how, on occasion, the responsibility of these women are not only defined as domestic labor, but also as a partial emulation of the role of family member, which in itself blurs the boundaries of role and identity, meaning that while on the one hand they are temporary
employees, on the other hand they are indispensable, fundamental sources of support for the familial system.
