The Industrial Vagina: The Political Economy of the Global Sex Trade is a 2008 book about prostitution and the sex industry by Sheila Jeffreys.[1]
Summary
Jeffreys argues that women involved in prostitution rarely profit from it, despite a popular view to the contrary. She describes marriage as a kind of prostitution.[1]
Reception
The Industrial Vagina was reviewed favorably by feminist Julie Bindel, who wrote that, "The strength of Jeffreys' new work lies in just how many aspects of the sex industry she covers, and her understanding of their intersections."[1]
