"When women are enjoying better sex, the people they're having sex with will too. Sexual equality is good for everyone."
Slutdom is not just another book about sex – it's a radical reimagining of how we think about pleasure, power, and gender equality.
Drawing from two decades of experience as both an academic and sex worker, Dr. Hilary Caldwell delivers a groundbreaking argument: women's sexual empowerment is key to advancing gender equality.
Described by The Guardian as "genuinely radical" and "the right blend of educational and entertaining," Slutdom combines rigorous research with real-world wisdom.
Through intimate interviews, personal insights, and academic analysis, the book challenges us to envision a world without sexual shame.
A world where getting what you need (and deserve) isn't radical at all.
