Synopsis

This collection of narrative essays by sex workers presents a crystal-clear rejoinder: there's never been a better time to fight for justice. Responding to the resurgence of the #MeToo movement in 2017, sex workers from across the industry—hookers and prostitutes, strippers and dancers, porn stars, cam models, Dommes and subs alike—complicate narratives of sexual harassment and violence, and expand conversations often limited to normative workplaces.

Writing across topics such as homelessness, motherhood, and toxic masculinity, We Too: Essays on Sex Work and Survival gives voice to the fight for agency and accountability across sex industries. With contributions by leading voices in the movement such as Melissa Gira Grant, Ceyenne Doroshow, Audacia Ray, femi babylon, April Flores, and Yin Q, this anthology explores sex work as work, and sex workers as laboring subjects in need of respect—not rescue.

Contains mature themes.

I'm hoping to write a longer review later. I have some extreme reactions to this. Most of the entries are fantastic and I saw a lot of familiar names from queer porn and was saddened to hear of what they went through. I learned a lot about sex work activism and organizing efforts. The essays on how......more

Goodreads review by Kev on December 23, 2021

I love collections that are like 'here's a bunch of people telling their own stories'. I find it especially useful with marginalised voices (like Bernstein's collection ' why are f____s so afraid of f____s' [periphrasis because it's not a word people want to be seeing casually]. Speaking of things t......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on April 14, 2021

I’m giving this a 4 only because it took me forever to get through and wasn’t as fast of a read as I anticipated. This is a HEAVY book. Essential reading for anyone interested in diving into why sex work is WORK. It’s uncomfortable at times but let those barriers and biases DOWN BABY. Super intersec......more
