Working Girl: On Selling Art and Selling Sex by Sophia Giovannitti

4.0

i liked how brutally honest and straightforward she is. i also like how she blended memoir with theory, contemporary art critique and various feminist texts, though this book could’ve easily been 100 pages longer because i wish some ideas were expanded upon more. i don’t know much about the sex industry and have also previously felt unsure when witnessing feminist discourse on sex work, so i learnt a lot from this book and find most of sophia’s points pretty convincing, though again i do wish some of her arguments were more elaborated on. then again she admits to not knowing all the answers herself, which leads me back to my first point on her honesty, and also that she’s presenting her own experiences and opinions and letting us be the judge. her voice is confident and non-defensive, which i admire in a writer.
