Description
This collection of narrative essays by sex workers presents a powerful response to the need for justice. In 2017, a surge in the #MeToo movement prompted these women to reclaim their stories and challenge narratives of sexual harassment and violence. We Too: Essays on Sex Work and Survival brings together voices from across the industry, including strippers, dancers, porn stars, cam models, and sex workers who have experienced homelessness, motherhood, and toxic masculinity. Through their writing, these women complicate conversations about work and labor in the sex industry, arguing for agency and accountability. The book features contributions from leading voices in the movement, including Melissa Gira Grant, Ceyenne Doroshow, Audacia Ray, femi babylon, April Flores, and Yin Q. A portion of its net proceeds will support SWOP Behind Bars (SBB). This anthology offers a nuanced exploration of sex work as labor and the need for respect - not rescue.
