Playing The Whore

Playing The Whore
Melissa Gira Grant
Fiercely smart and politically savvy, Melissa Gira Grant deconstructs moral panics about sex work and returns the discussion—with an insider’s knowledge and a commentator’s clear eye--to the real experience of sex workers. Read this as an antidote to uninformed press representations of prostitution, to fuel awareness and activism, or to engage with a razor-sharp mind about a badly misunderstood corner of the economy––any way you cut it, this slim, indispensable volume follows through on Gira Grant’s decade of writing and reporting on the sex trade and delivers a witty, eloquent, and up-to-the-minute analysis of the world’s oldest profession. 2014, 144 pages.
