| Sheila Jeffreys explodes the distinction between â forcedâ and â freeâ prostitution, and documents the expanding international traffic in women. She examines the claims of the prostitutesâ rights movement and the sex industry, while supporting prostituted women. Her argument is threefold: the sex of prostitution is not just sex; the work of prostitution is not ordinary work; and prostitution is a â choiceâ not for the prostituted women, but for the men who abuse them. |
