As someone who holds a degree in women's studies, and having read many books on rape, I was hopeful this book would offer the new vision on the subject promised on the cover. While there are a few (very few) interesting and entertaining essays, the majority of the book seems to be women and men recounting their first sexual experiences and ways these might have been better; hardly any groundbreaking theory there. The other issue which lead to my throwing this book in the garbage involves the final chapter, which is an interview with three women, who supposedly represent a comprehensive cross section of sex workers. However, all three of whom are high-paid strippers, hardly a representative sample. There is no mention of women who are trafficked, or of women who engage in sex for survival prostitution; I guess their stories are not quite so empowering. In the end, this is a book with a laudable premise which unfortunately fails to deliver anything near what its title implies.
