Abstract
This paper surveys the remarkable surge in women’s contributions to commentary on the sex industry as both subject and objects of analysis. It focuses on three recent texts: an autobiography and two participant-observation studies of striptease. Reflections of our particular moment, these texts—in their ironized attitudes and unsentimental scrutiny—mark a new level of independence and confidence in insiders’ discourses on the sex industry. The paper analyzes their self-reflexivity, theoretical grounding and narratological sophistication.
