Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

[4.5-5 stars] A collection of essays by current and former sex workers on their experiences with interpersonal violence, cultural whorephobia, healing, and survival. A balanced mix of personal and political, it provides a good introduction for those newer to learning about sex worker-centered organizing and injects necessary nuance into the broader sexual violence conversations happening in the media. Those familiar with existing sex worker rights and liberation advocates and activists will be familiar with a number of the writers. I wish there were more disabled, trans, BIPOC, and rural sex worker voices here, and hope that there is much more to come from Feminist Press on sex work/er narratives. Recommended for those interested in growing their feminist abolitionist knowledge, understanding nuances and language, and honoring narratives.
