At the crossroads of feminist theory and raw testimony, The Prostitution Papers by Kate Millett presents a searing, uncompromising examination of prostitution as a social and political institution — one that the author argues is not a personal failing but a systemic expression of patriarchal power. Drawing on candid interviews with women who have lived experience of the sex trade, Millett weaves together their voices with her own incisive commentary to construct a damning portrait of a society that criminalises women while protecting the structures that exploit them. Written with the same intellectual ferocity that defined Sexual Politics, Millett's landmark work in second-wave feminism, this volume illustrates how gender, class, and law conspire to render certain women invisible and disposable. Her style is direct, urgent, and deeply humane — refusing to reduce her subjects to statistics or archetypes — and her arguments retain a startling relevance decades after their first publication. For anyone who has ever questioned who society truly protects, this is an essential and unsettling read.
