Whores and Other Feminists

<p><em>Whores and Other Feminists</em> 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.</p> Introduction; Part 1 Integration; Chapter 1 Naked, Naughty, Nasty, Vicky Funari; Chapter 2 Odyssey of a Feminist Pornographer, Marcy Sheiner; Chapter 3 The Holy Whore, Cosi Fabian; Chapter 4 A Sex Protector/Pervert Speaks Out, Ann Renee; Chapter 5 In the Flesh, Nina Hartley; Chapter 6 We’ve Come A Long Way—And We’re Exhausted!, Annie Sprinkle; Part 2 Meanings; Chapter 7 Love for Sale, Eva Pendleton; Chapter 8 Feminism, Sex Workers, and Human Rights, Priscilla Alexander; Chapter 9 Peepshow Feminism, Tawnya Dudash; Chapter 10 The Littlest Harlot, Tracy Quan; Chapter 11 Sex Radical Politics, Sex-Positive Feminist Thought, and Whore Stigma, Carol Queen; Chapter 12 500 Words on Acculturation, Jessica Patton; Part 3 Turnabout; Chapter 13 It’s Different for Boys, Julian Marlowe; Chapter 14 Professional Dominance Power, Money, and Identity, Liz Highleyman, aka Mistress Veronika Frost; Chapter 15 First Ladies of Feminist Porn, Jill Nagle; Chapter 16 No Girls Allowed at the Mustang Ranch, Veronica Monét; Chapter 17 Butch Gigolette, Les Von Zoticus; Part 4 Uncovering; Chapter 18 All Stripped Off, Stacy Reed; Chapter 19 Confessions of a Fat Sex Worker, Drew Campbell; Chapter 20 They Say I Write Sex for Money, Red Jordan Arobateau; Chapter 21 Showing Up Fully, Blake Aarens, B.
