4.0

very entertaining and informative, and I appreciated the extensive use of primary sources. It was a welcome surprise to read the disclaimer in the introduction acknowledging the existence of trans people and the fact that primary sources almost always take a cisgendered view on sex and genitalia, but I do wish Lister had done more in her own use of language to try and correct that instead of just offering a disclaimer and going on to adhere to that cis-centric perspective. A few "people with vulvas" and "people with penises" would not have been unwelcome, but nonetheless I have to give her credit for even acknowledging the issue at all. The condemnation of FOSTA/SESTA and explicit support of sex workers was also a welcome surprise.

rowiash's review against another edition

DNF - sorry, I noped right out of this one when it got into the detailed descriptions of female genital mutilation. An important part of history that shouldn’t be forgotten, sure, but not what I want to hear about when I’m working or relaxing with an audiobook.
