About this ebook
Sex work was once thought to be anathema to women's liberation. Now, to some, we represent the tenacity of women's struggles under patriarchy and capitalism—that is, at least, the white, straight, cis, able-bodied sex workers who don't engage in actual sex with clients. These are the workers who get the glossy media profiles and get touted as feminist icons. But the red umbrella is wide and covers so many: escorts, sugar babies, strippers, session wrestlers, cam performers, fetish models, DIY queer porn stars, and the full range of gender, race, and ability. Our work and our identities are as vast and variable as the spectrum of sexuality itself. We do the work. In the streets, in the clubs, in hotel rooms, and in play party dungeons. We make dreams come true so we can afford a place to sleep. We do business in a marketplace that politicians and police are constantly burning down for our "own safety and dignity." We have high heels and higher anxiety. This isn't a collection of sob stories of heartbroken whores. This is a testament of life at ground zero of sexual discourse, the songs of canaries in the coal mines of sex, gender, class, race, and disability. We may dance on the table, but we still demand our seat at it. Sex workers of the world unite. This is A Whore's Manifesto.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jesus, this book. I mean, no way could I add it to my YA collection here at the library (not that it was primarily intended for that audience, anyway), but I LOVED it. The few quotes I shared with friends got huge positive reactions, too; I now have a small group of folks clamoring for a copy when it comes out. Only "complaint," if one is to be made, is that there are only three pieces of visual art, while the cover implies there would be a more equal mix of writing and artwork. Still, not really complaining, because it's all gold.
