A beautifully illustrated, densely researched history
of the oldest profession. It's an analysis of our historical biases and stigmas,
where they change and where they remain
consistent, from a writer who -unsurprisingly-
advocates for listening to the voices of the workers.
It is fairly Eurocentric, so bear that in mind. It's also
beautifully illustrated and photographed - I think I'Il
share some of my favourites over the next few
weeks.
