Working From Home tells the overlooked stories of Vietnamese outworkers in Australia and celebrates their contributions to the garment industry. The book melds journalism, illustration and oral history to explore personal stories of workers who made a living sewing from lounge rooms and backyards.
Written by Emma Do, illustrated by Kim Lam.
