XXX: A Woman's Right to Pornography

by Wendy McElroy

"Wendy McElroy's most valuable contribution is to introduce the voices of the women who work in the sex industry.  Her fascinating interviews defy many stereotypes and should deter all who are concerned about women's rights from supporting censorship measures."
Nadine Strossen, president of the American Civil Liberties Union and author of Defending Pornography
"Wendy McElroy's book strikes a rare blow for sexual tolerance in a world that has never tolerated much sexual freedom."
Bart Kosko, author of Fuzzy Thinking
"Wendy McElroy has made an astonishing contribution to the well-being of contemporary sexuality."
Rachel Hickerson, president of Feminists for Free Expression
"Wendy McElroy eloquently exposes and courageously opposes the evil naïveté of the currently fashionable anti-pornography movement."
Thomas Szasz, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry Emeritus, State University of New York
