Slutdom: A bold call to embrace women’s sexual empowerment in Her Canberra.

Alice Jeffrey, Cosmopolitan: "Walking the line between educational and entertaining, Dr Hilary Caldwell offers a controversial yet celebratory take on women’s sexual agency. Pleasure is at the heart of the argument: sex should be good for everyone. The book features case studies ranging from women who engage sex workers after their husbands get dementia to those who argue that vaginismus should be treated with appropriate massage therapies, just like other body parts. Caldwell, a sexologist and sex worker, aims to break down the shame and stigma still associated with the industry, specifically by telling the stories of women who pay or get paid for sex."
