Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights by Molly Smith, Juno Mac
challenging

As a piece of non fiction, this is a spectacular piece of research and a tribute to the struggle of sex workers' to be acknowledged as worker's and not as social reprobates.
An emotionally challenging read. Not just because of the awful treatment towards sex workers' but also the vitriol from others (mostly not sex workers') who feel their opinion is more important than asking the demographic being addressed, in this case sex workers', what they feel they need.
I did also find the different political terminology a challenge but very well explained by the authors.
There are some ideas in here that I find a bit frustrating, because they seem too big to achieve but that is not the fault of the authors', but the fault of the law and society at large.
