Playing the Whore
The Work of Sex Work (Jacobin)
Melissa Gira Grant
The book challenges the prevailing narratives about sex work, arguing that it should be understood as labor and advocating for the rights and agency of sex workers. It critiques the ways in which media, law enforcement, and feminist discourse often marginalize and misrepresent sex workers, and calls for a shift in perspective that recognizes their autonomy and humanity.
