Description
A pioneering manifesto from Brazil about the centrality of sex workers to feminist struggle.
As long as feminism has existed as a movement in Brazil, sex workers have taken to the streets in solidaritydespite the fact that mainstream feminist discourse positions sex work, and the putas who enact it, as detrimental to womens rights. In Putafeminista, activist and sex worker Monique Prada calls for feminists to retire this hypocrisy and embrace putafeminism: a working class womens movement that rejects whorephobia and its classist, colonial dimensions.
Drawing on her firsthand experiences with sex work and movement building, Prada argues for the validity of sex work as feminist labor and tracks the innovations introduced by Brazilian sex workers to feminist internet discourse, street actions, and governmental advocacy. For readers seeking the glimmers of tomorrows feminism, Prada places that future with putafeminists, naming the brothel a final frontier for all women to gather, reform, and revolt.
