Neon Girls: A Stripper's Education in Protest and Power by Jennifer Worley
5.0
Feminism! Workers' rights! The exploitation of women! The patriarchy! Internalized misogyny!
Go read this book. Jennifer Worley explains the seduction of the sex industry and capitalism and how even activists are human. She investigates complicated emotions, like how empowering being a sexy woman can be and also how humiliating dealing with customers can be. She acknowledges both the good and bad effects from her former profession and represents her co-workers as the intelligent, strong, human people they are.
I also enjoyed the Riot Grrrl, punk, and queer history and culture references in this book.
In closing, fuck capitalism.
