About this listen

How the law harms sex workers—and what they want instead

Do you have to endorse prostitution in order to support sex worker rights? Should clients be criminalized, and can the police deliver justice?

In Revolting Prostitutes, sex workers Juno Mac and Molly Smith bring a fresh perspective to questions that have long been contentious. Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights movement, and situating their argument firmly within wider questions of migration, work, feminism, and resistance to white supremacy, they make it clear that anyone committed to working towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker rights movement.

Contains mature themes.

This book highlights the uncomfortable sides of the work, without infantilising the workers. I recommend it!

Very Insightful

After reading the first third of this many years ago, I've been periodically checking its availability as an audiobook as I thought the first third was so brilliant (I have disabilities which makes reading physical books tricky!). I'm so pleased this finally exists in audio format!!

This book is very well written, well researched, and is very interesting and insightful. It's not only the book I'd most recommend for understanding the politics and debates around sex work - it's also just straight-up one of the best nonfiction books I've read.

Cannot recommend it enough!

Absolutely brilliant book!
