About this ebook:
«Até chegar aqui, fui-me cruzando com as indicações e regras produzidas pelas or­ganizações femininas do Estado Novo ensinando às jovens portuguesas que as suas criadas mereciam caridade, voz firme e olho vivo. Rica em metáforas políticas sobre a definição do valor de um indivíduo a partir do seu lugar de nascimento, a criada de casa era julgada pela desobediência, preguiça, sujidade e mania, para referir apenas os atributos mais incisivos. Procurei neste livro esclarecer as formas de relacionamento dos criados com os patrões, a natureza dos conflitos e os códigos de tratamento, as origens sociais, os hábitos, os usos do corpo, a linguagem, entre muitos outros aspectos. O que sabemos para além de um conjunto de rasgos de criação literária que ficcionaram a vida das criadas de servir no contexto do século xx português? Na literatura, no cinema e na dramaturgia popular encontrei muitas vezes densidade psicológica atribuída a estas personagens, mas faltava uma interpretação estrutural que dinamitasse ou, pelo contrário, sustentasse as construções sociais da trabalhadora servil doméstica.»
