Whores and Other Feminists fleshes out feminist politics from the perspective of sex workers–strippers, prostitutes, porn writers, producers and performers, dominatrices–and their allies. Comprising a range of voices from both within and outside the academy, this collection draws from traditional feminisms, postmodern feminism, queer theory, and sex radicalism. It stretches the boundaries of contemporary feminism, holding accountable both traditional feminism for stigmatizing sex workers, and also the sex industry for its sexist practices.
