Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers’ Rights
Molly Smith - 2018
You often hear, "There should be a law against it!" Or, perhaps just against the buyers. What do sex workers want? That's not something you hear asked very often. In this accessible manifesto, the strong argument for full decriminalization of sex work is explored through personal experience and looking at laws around the world.In some places, like New York, selling sex is illegal. In others, like Sweden, only buying it is. In some, like the UK and France, it's legal to sell sex and to buy it, but not to run a brothel or solicit a sale. In New Zealand, it's not illegal at all. In What Do Sex Workers Want?, Juno Mac and Molly Smith - both sex workers - explain what each of these laws do in practice to those doing the work. Addressing each model in turn, they show that prohibiting the sex industry actually exacerbates every harm that sex workers are vulnerable to.

I call it something different. Release. The look in the face of my submissive after a scene is the only confirmation that I need that I'm in the right job. Getting paid hourly to bring the most powerful men and women to their knees. Kneeling before the one person who holds all of the control. Me. Drake She walks into my club every Friday night, every single person in here knows just exactly who she is. Candace. One of the most well known Domme's in Vegas. Everything about her is a mystery. The woman is as closed off as they come. Her walls are high, and dammit if they don't make me want to break them down. I've wanted her for ages. Who wouldn't? There's only one problem. I'm a Dom, and she's made it very clear she's not a switch. How much do you want to bet that she won't be switched when I'm done with her?

Women and Gendered Violence in Canada: An Intersectional Approach
Chris Bruckert - 2018
While domestic violence and sexual assault are significant social problems, such a narrow framing obscures the diversity of women's experience, fails to illuminate the role social structures play, and excludes discussions of workplace and state violence. By drawing on a range of theoretical traditions emerging from feminism, criminology, and sociology, Women and Gendered Violence in Canada significantly expands the conversation on violence against women.The first section of the book develops the conceptual and contextual framework that informs the remainder of the text, and the following three sections are organized around types of victimization: interpersonal, labour site, and state. Each chapter ends with lists of suggested activities, and first person narratives are integrated throughout to personalize the material and issues being examined.
