Advance praise for
We Too: Essays on Sex Work and Survival
A necessary, wide-ranging, preconception-smashing collection of essays by writers who speak from experience within the sex industry. At turns, these essays are devastating, astute, funny, and heart opening. Taken together, they are a welcome antidote to the reductive narratives about sex worker experiences that we hear too often. We Too: Essays on Sex Work and Survival is an anthology that honors the humanity, diversity, and depth of insight within the field. Reading it made me want to stand up and cheer.
MELISSA FEBOS, author of Abandon Me: Memoirs
This incredible anthology has pulled together personal stories of sex work that speak to a reality that only so many of us know. Beyond the buzzworthy story of selling sex is the truth and lived experience, and the understanding of value, self-worth, self-pity, and self-empowerment. We Toos firsthand accounts will give perspective and nuance to the sex work is work conversation in this new era of informed consent.
LOTUS LAIN, adult performer and sex worker rights advocate
We Too embodies the rallying cry Nothing about us without us. Featuring incisive essays by sex workers of all backgrounds, this vital anthology centers diverse narratives about sex work, labor rights, sexual assault, trauma, and healing that too often go unheard. Raw, gut-wrenching, and transformative, We Too is a powerful addition to the canon of books by sex workers and for sex workers and their allies.
KRISTEN J. SOLLE, author of Witches, Sluts, Feminists: Conjuring the Sex Positive
We Too offers a sharp indictment of this world and a warm invitation to build another one. Against a #MeToo movement that represents some at a high cost to others, We Too places sex workers at the front lines of an anti-violence movement for the rest of us. We Toos vision knows that the state is no ally, that freedom wont come without solidarity, and that real cultures of consent will come from the ground up.
HEATHER BERG, author of Porn Work: Sex, Labor, and Late Capitalism
We Too is a powerful, engrossing collection of essays, each lending a unique perspective from a courageous and resilient voice. Together, these essays constitute a critical resource for understanding the complex and diverse world of sex worker experience.
ISA MAZZEI, author of Camgirl
The Me Too movement, started by Tarana Burke, was formed to fight for the working class, often left vulnerable to sexual violence with little to no justice. This anthology examines that sexual violence and labor with a lens aimed specifically at how sex workers experience and witness it. Documenting personal accounts of sexual violence in the workplace, We Too can be a hard pill to swallow but presents a path toward healing from and combating rape culture from people who have survived on the front lines. This anthology brilliantly showcases the billowing voice of the sex worker community and how it supports and should be supported by feminist movements like Me Too.
COURTNEY TROUBLE, founder of NoFauxxx.com
In We Too, the voices of those within the sex worker community come together on topics that dont get much exposure outside our own private gatherings. This collection is incisive, generous, vulnerable, and insightful with a fair dash of humor and verve. It should come as no surprise that sex workers thinking and writing on harassment and interpersonal violence are much more multidimensional, tender, and thoughtful than most mainstream intellectuals on the topic. Its so important that these stories are heard as told by us.
RACHEL RABBIT WHITE, author of Porn Carnival
We Too is a crucial, brutally necessary book that works to create needed intersectionality within the Me Too movement and feminism generally. These stunning outsider voices are thick with inside information, personal and political, and most importantly theyre great, gripping reads. Im very grateful for this collection.
MICHELLE TEA, author of Against Memoir: Complaints, Confessions & Criticisms
