HASH(0x8f5b1210) out of 5 stars love or hate porn? read this 6 May 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
if you love porn, this will arm you against its opponents. if you hate it this will most likely change your mind or at least give you a reasoned argument to consider. mcelroy combines interviews and surveys and refutes feminist canon on a subject that is relevant but taboo in our society and thus underresearched.

HASH(0x8f5a0988) out of 5 stars debunks mackinnon and dworkin myths 24 Nov. 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
This book changed my whole thinking about women and porn. McElroy actually talks to women within the industry and proves that women are not coerced into the porn industry, and are actually well regarded. Her last chapter, which proves that porn is GOOD for women, is fantastic. Her empirical evidence is first-rate.

HASH(0x8f2703fc) out of 5 stars A Woman's Body, A Woman's Choice, A Woman's Empowerment 5 July 2000
By Mike Renzulli - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
Wendy McElroy did an excellent job writing this expose about the adult entertainment industry.

Her in depth interviews with adult film actresses, producers and directors rebuffs accusations by pro-cencorship/anti-porn feminists that the adult entertainment industry is an enslaver of women, encourages rape (she herself was a rape victim) and that women who work in the industry are "victims of patriarchial oppression" or are "psychologically damaged".

In an unflinching and honest fashion, McElroy rightfully points out that adult entertainment empowers women since they can earn millions of dollars working in this industry and be featured as the main stars of the films or clubs they perform in. If your curious as to all of the controversy surrounding adult entertainment, read this book.

It certainly was an eye opener for me and a great read at that.

HASH(0x8f317324) out of 5 stars Great analysis of the politics of sex 8 Mar. 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
A cogent, straightforward presentation of the politics that lead to an extreme group's ascent to power within the feminist ranks. It's the first time I've actually understood the motivation, hysteria, and history of sex in relation to women's rights and both conservative and feminist ideology. McElroy offered reasonable definitions and actual information from women within the porn industry - much of it opposite the views being offered by women and men "defending" them. Very, very interesting and easy reading.

HASH(0x8f8b7cf0) out of 5 stars An important book 6 Dec. 1998
By M.J. Rose - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
I read this book 2 years ago and found it to be not only edifying but electrifying. Her thinking is not only logical but new and powerful. My novel, Lip Service, owes a lot to her insights and I am thankful for women like Wendy who are not afraid to think out of the square.
