Al-jen Poo, 38, is the daughter of pro-democracy immigrants from Chiang Kai-shek's Taiwan. Coming to New York City, she continued her parents' advocacy for human rights. She became aware that female housekeepers, who are unskilled and uneducated workers, were treated as expendable commodities. Though they have been given the responsibility of caring for children, the elderly, and the ill, they are treated with contempt. To promote their cause for better wages and working conditions, Al-jen founded the National Domestic Workers Alliance.
