On the public and private spheres border, in the shadow of the debates about work, family and modern societies, women are working. They meet the care needs, allow the reconciliation of work and care of children, sick or elderly people and they try to ensure a better life for their families. Who are the contemporary female migrants? The feminization of migration is a consequence of economic changes, especially deep transformations of the labour market and social changes: moving away from traditional values, norms and cultural patterns, transition from collectivism to individualism. Female Female migration flows differ significantly from male ones. It should be stated here, and mentioned above, the placement of women primarily outside the formal labour market in domestic, private sphere, "in secret" which promotes the exploitation. Moreover, it should be noted that they are doing jobs which are traditionally assigned to their gender roles and therefore "invisible" in professional context. The redefinition of mother role and the associated responsibilities should also be mentioned here. These issues, mainly family and labour market, were discussed in Women migration in age of globalization session during the XIV Polish Sociological Congress, in Cracow in September 2010 and this volume is their outcome.
