Description for Idea of Prostitution
Paperback. Num Pages: 394 pages. BIC Classification: JFMX. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 215 x 142 x 18. Weight in Grams: 404.
Sheila Jeffreys explodes the distinction between “forced” and “free” prostitution, and documents the expanding international traffic in women. She examines the claims of the prostitutes’ rights movement and the sex industry, while supporting prostituted women. Her argument is threefold: the sex of prostitution is not just sex; the work of prostitution is not ordinary work; and prostitution is a ‘choice’ not for the prostituted women, but for the men who abuse them.
