Are They Bad Girls or Brilliant?: The Truths Behind the Fight for Independent Prostitutes' Rights

Librarian Note: Alternate Cover Edition for ISBN-10: 151731805X / ISBN-13: 9781517318055.

This book is a message of peace from a social-revolutionary sex worker. Sex workers exist, universally persist, and they doggedly endure the world’s hatred. Phoenix enlightens the world as to why. She states that clients of compassionate escorts are inclined to reflect their kind nature. And that most escorts haven’t been forced. They literally embody the torturous collision of human rights and women’s rights issues, and Phoenix explains it with a staggering fusion of adroitness and poignant revelation. Phoenix has indeed done her research, but more importantly, she’s a seasoned insider. Norma Jean Almodovar, who is famous for her activism for sex workers' rights, criticized Phoenix in an email to her for making her title a question. She said: "We know that sex workers are bad girls AND brilliant... so why the question mark?" Phoenix's response is that sex workers may know they are brilliant, but the rest of the world does not. She figures many of the people attracted to her book will be curious fence-riders and truth-seekers, so she made the title a question because that is indeed their perspective. This book is explosive with answers.
