Reviews
Sex and Stigma lays the groundwork for greater understanding of the everyday routines and work-life considerations of legal sex workers. This book is both significant and distinctive for the authors' ability to take a phenomenon that typically is considered hidden and stigmatized and attach real faces, lives, workplace, and home issues to these women. Insightful and illuminating. -Patrice M. Buzzanell,editor of Rethinking Organizational and Managerial Communication from Feminist Perspectives Sex and Stigma is an engaging and informative book, blending first-person perspectives with feminist scholarship to demystify the brothel as a workplace. A smart and innovative study, readers will benefit from the authors' blend of scholarly expertise, their unique access to a difficult-to-reach population, and the inclusion of multiple sex workers' perspectives. -Shira Tarrant,author of The Pornography Industry: What Everyone Needs to Know
