Mothers, Mothering and Sex Work

Exploring the shared intersections of mothering, motherhood and sex work, Mothers, Mothering and Sex Work weaves together a range of voices from academic and sex-worker communities around the world. It features interdisciplinary contributions, scholarly essays, academic research, artwork, poetry, photography and experiential narratives. Notable among these are two modern masterpieces from literary legends: Voices, a short story by Alice Munro and excerpts from Maya Angelou s autobiography Gather Together in my Name. In the spirit of the adage nothing about us without us, Mothers, Mothering and Sex Work brings together unique and controversial viewpoints defying conventional wisdom to provide fresh insights into sex workers and their rights. Beginning with the political, legal and social context of sexuality and gender in Canada, the book s focus widens to explore issues affecting sex workers worldwide.
