I'm not really sure what I was expecting when I started this book, but I was really surprised! Worley strikes a great balance between being new and naive to sex work without casting any sort of judgement on anyone. Learning the ins and outs of unionizing, and the pitfalls of co-owning a co-op strip club was fascinating.

In one of my college classes, The Commodification of Gender, we studied the unionization of San Francisco’s Lusty Lady, learning how the women fought back against their management (unfair rules, hidden cameras in the dressing room, etc) to create the world’s first ever strippers’ union. We studied their legal proceedings, magazine features, and interviews. Jennifer Worley’s first hand account of her experience in the unionization gave me an even greater insight into this topic, movement, and achievement. A must-read for anyone interested in the topics of gender, the sex industry, sex workers, feminism, capitalism, classism, and power dynamics.

This was a good little book. I'm not sure how much of a hit it will be outside of a certain group though.
