Summary 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, and more, The Feminist Porn Book updates the debates since the porn wars of the 1980s, which sharply divided the women's movement, and identifies the importance of pornography as a form of expression and labor in which women and other minorities produce power and pleasure. -- Provided by publisher
