Catlyn Ladd's Strip: The Making of a Feminist, is a unique and insightful journey through the author's time as a stripper while pursuing an education. She openly shares her stories and reflects on them from her current perspective as an academic almost 20 years later. It is a very self-aware exploration into the world of sex work as seen through her eyes as a white woman from an educated background. It's honest and unapologetic. I enjoyed her way of describing the clubs, the clients, her co-workers, and mostly her detailed and vivid description of how it all made her feel. Her storytelling technique brings the reader into her skin to feel her seductive empowerment. It also educates and informs on the research that has been done on the industry, making a point to challenge what has been published so far. It's a great read, with rich stories and a detailed insight into Ladd as a feminist. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; x, 179 pages; Signed by Author .
