1937: (The Student-Servant — Valcin Continuing That Tired of Doing All the Work Alone You Employ Her but Only to Realize You Have Recruited a Student, You Find the Courage to Educate Her She Adapts to Her Work More or Less and You Reap Some Kind of Satisfaction, but One Morning “Vlan!” Your Student Announces She Is Returning Home and Will Get You a Replacement — “Your Student-Servant Leaves Often Never to Come Back Abandoning Her Job to a ‘Friend’ as Incompetent as She Used to Be”): Valcin continued that tired of doing all the work alone, you employ her, but only to realize that you have recruited a student. You find the courage to educate her, she adapts herself to her work more or less, and you reap some kind of satisfaction. But one morning — vlan! — your student announces that she is returning to her home, and will get you a replacement. Your student-servant leaves, often never to come back, abandoning her job to a friend as incompetent as she used to be — the narrative voice was unmistakably that of the employer, the frustration directed not at the system that produced migrant domestic labor but at the individual woman who refused to stay in her assigned place.
