The Industrial Vagina

Viac o knihe

The book explores the transformation of prostitution and the sex trade into a lucrative global market, highlighting the shift from clandestine practices to legitimate industries. Sheila Jeffreys investigates various facets, including the rise of pornography, adult entertainment venues, military prostitution, and sex tourism. She argues that legalized prostitution perpetuates women's subordination and critiques states that facilitate this industry as complicit in exploitation. This work is vital for those interested in feminist, gender, and globalization studies, as well as international political economy.
