Science as it happens! Book

I picked up this book because it was contrary to my previous opinions of the pornography industry. Though I did not adopt the opinion of the author, my opinion did still change. Though McElroy presented her view on the subject, she also presented views held by different schools of feminist thought: radical feminist, liberal feminist and individualist feminist. The latter is the school of thought to which the author subscribes. In addition, McElroy describes a comprehensive history of women and sex in Western culture, including the spread of contraceptive rights and the right to choice. Overall, this book is a stimulating and provocative read, combining wit and sharp intellect with historical analysis, feminist theory, first-hand research in the industry. I thoroughly recommend this book to everyone.
