Subject: A question about women and globalization in Literature


Dear List:

I am scheduled to teach a theme-centered introduction-to-literature course 
next semester and would like to center it around the theme of the effects of 
globalization on women of the world.  Although I have compiled a list of 
essays dealing with this topic (and there are tons), i have not been able to 
find any fictional 
narratives or plays on the issue.  I've talked to various English professors 
about it, but so far nobody has been able to come up with any novels/short 
stories/plays that would fit my parametres with the exception of Dirty Pretty 
Things, which of course is a film.  

Does anyone have any suggestions for literary texts (written in or translated 
into English) featuring women sweatshop laborers/coffee pickers/victims of 
the global sex 
trade, etc?  And if you don't, do you know of anybody who might?
Thanks!

Iveta
