In their own words, the women of
Sex Work describe their work conditions and what it means to provide the service of pleasure. The voices of prostitutes, strippers, escorts, porn performers and erotic masseuses advocate for respect through personal narrative, essays, and articles on culture, money, politics and work. Its well researched arguments for legalization and workplace rights for sex workers additionally contribute to making this book is an invaluable resource about the industry. The second edition includes a report on the legal status of sex work around the world, the impact of AIDS, the growth of an international prostitutes’ movement, and a resource list for activists.
