Definition
A bondwoman, similar to a bondsman, is a woman bound to service without pay due to debt or agreement. 👩🌾 Unlike slavery, she retains some limited rights but is still under obligation. It's a form of forced labor, but not ownership. Think of it like being stuck in a never-ending internship, but with fewer career prospects. This concept is often portrayed in historical dramas to highlight social inequalities. It is like helping your parents with chores forever after borrowing their car without permission.
