“This thrilling anthology brings together scholars, producers, and fans of feminist pornography to define an emerging movement of gender and sexual visionaries.” —Lisa Duggan
The Feminist Porn Book brings together for the first time writings by feminists in the adult industry and research by feminist porn scholars. This book investigates not only how feminists understand pornography, but also how feminists do porn—that is, direct, act in, produce, and consume one of the world’s most lucrative and growing industries. With original contributions by Susie Bright, Candida Royalle, Betty Dodson, Nina Hartley, Buck Angel, Lynn Comella, Jane Ward, Ariane Cruz, Kevin Heffernan, and more, The Feminist Porn Book updates the arguments of the porn wars of the 1980s, which sharply divided the women’s movement, and identifies pornography as a form of expression and labor in which women and racial and sexual minorities produce power and pleasure.
“Besides being extremely thought-provoking, this must-read collection is accessible to all readers, and the topic inherently makes it engaging and fun.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Quotes

  • Serhiy Ponomaryovhas quoted5 years ago
    the term “moral panic” is described as “upwardly mobile,” one that “operates politically to do the work of neoliberal tolerance by governing the public gaze and erasing feminist critiques.
  • Serhiy Ponomaryovhas quoted5 years ago
    defending pornography as free speech does little to challenge the presentation of porn as a singular form in which the degradation or subordination of women is played out or as irredeemably harmful to children who see it “too early.”
  • maksimshhas quoted2 years ago
    “This thrilling anthology brings together scholars, producers, and fans of feminist pornography to define an emerging movement of gender and sexual visionaries, working at the radically inclusive and egalitarian edges of sexual representation.
