Melissa Gira Grant challenges us about what's behind that socially shared rejection of sex work. It does not look into the causes of the exercise of prostitution, but reflects on what rights women are being recognized today, stripping naked as well as operating an element of social control and sexual repression. Control and repression - we believe - of the woman who has become a prostitute, because behind her is the possibility of a certain cultural subversion. However, the curious reader will not find here sex stories or stories of abandonment, as this book does not focus on the genre of what the author calls the "pornography of pity". On the contrary, and even if it is difficult to understand, it is a tremendously political book that takes a position and raises ideas that come, precisely, from our experience as sex workers.
