Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality
by Gail Dines
Pornland
takes an unflinching look at pornography and its effect on our lives, showing that today’s pornography is strikingly different from yesterday’s
Playboy
. As porn culture has become absorbed into pop culture, a new wave of entrepreneurs are creating porn that is ever more hardcore, violent, sexist, and racist.
“We’re now so pornography-saturated that our capacity for sexual delight is being brutalized. Gail Dines brilliantly exposes porn’s economics, pervasiveness, and impact with scholarship as impeccable as her tone is reasonable. This book will change your life.”

The Idea of Prostitution
by Sheila Jeffreys
Sheila Jeffreys explodes the distinction between ‘forced’ and ‘free’ prostitution, and documents the expanding international traffic in women. She examines the claims of the prostitutes’ rights movement and the sex industry, while supporting prostituted women.

The Idea of Prostitution
is controversial, yet compelling. It is for me one of a few seminal works that are truly radical and have left an indelible imprint on my thinking. The book questions liberal notions about what it means to be a woman in today’s society in which certain practices are still tolerated or have been normalised.”

Anticlimax: A Feminist Perspective on the Sexual Revolution
by Sheila Jeffreys
The sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s is remembered as a time of great freedom for women. Was the sexual revolution liberation for women or just another insidious form of oppression? Sheila Jeffreys argues that the increasing eroticisation of power differences within heterosexual, lesbian and gay communities was not liberatory. Her alternative vision of sexual relations based on equality is a major statement in the debates over sex and violence that remain relevant in discussions over SlutWalk, sexualisation of girls and the pervasiveness of porn culture.
“A rigorous, savvy contemporary intellectual history … Read this book.”

Getting Real: Challenging the Sexualisation of Girls
edited by Melinda Tankard Reist
From advertising and merchandising to Bratz and Voodoo Dolls to the Henson affair,
Getting Real
puts the spotlight on the sexualisation and objectification of girls and women in the media, popular culture and society.

Getting Real
is powerful, disturbing, confronting. If we don’t challenge what we’re beginning to accept as the social norm, the risk to our girls will only continue to grow.”

Making Sex Work: A Failed Experiment with Legalised Prostitution
by Mary Lucille Sullivan
Making Sex Work
is a compelling read. This book gives an insight into the sex industry, and into a society where women and children have become just another consumer item. If you’ve ever thought of prostitution as simply a choice some women make, read this book and then ask yourself: Could you do this job? How would you feel if your friend, sister, or daughter chose this career?
“… the evidence is compelling … prostitution is male sex right in action, and this is where we need to start.”

Unmaking War, Remaking Men: How Empathy Can Reshape Our Politics, Our Soldiers and Ourselves
by Kathleen Barry
In
Unmaking War, Remaking Men
, Kathleen Barry explores soldiers’ experiences through a politics of empathy. By revealing how men’s lives are made expendable for combat, she shows how military training drives them to kill without thinking and without remorse, only to suffer both trauma and loss of their own souls. With the politics of empathy, she sheds new light on the experiences of those who are invaded and occupied and shows how resistance rises among them.
“Kathleen Barry shows in her book how empathy threatens those who promote the militarization of masculinity while simultaneously providing an antidote. She has done deep thinking – thinking that all of us will be made smarter by!”

Wild Politics: Feminism, Globalisation and Bio/diversity
by Susan Hawthorne
Susan Hawthorne challenges the universal endorsement of global western culture with her concept of biodiversity, arguing that biodiversity is a useful metaphor for understanding social, political, and economic relations in the globalised world of the 21st century.
“One of the many gifts of Susan Hawthorne’s
Wild Politics
is the unrelenting analysis and illustration of ways neo-colonialism is promoted under the banner of Western liberalism and economic globalization … Her goal is to decolonize the Western imagination …
Wild Politics
is fabulous, and Susan Hawthorne has done us all a tremendous service.”

Unspeakable: A Feminist Ethic of Speech
by Betty McLellan
This is a book about speech and the silencing of speech; about who gets to speak and who does not; about who is listened to and who is ignored.
Unspeakable
focuses on how women are silenced in every nation on earth: through violence, subordination and exclusion.
“Be assured that Betty McLellan has not been silenced … Recasting debates old and new through the lens of ethics, she marches straight into many a dreary and painful corner, illuminating in the process a true arc of women speaking out against subordination … Treasure this undying, undaunted voice.”
