Princesses and Pornstars: Sex, Power, Identity

After forty years of feminism where are we? What has happened to women's rights in the era of mainstream porn, botox and the celebrity diet? What role models do women have beyond princesses or pornstars? What does the modesty movement have in common with raunch culture? Are they both damaging to women?

In this groundbreaking book, acclaimed journalist and novelist, Emily Maguire, examines these issues with wit and intelligence. She looks for a way towards more equality for women in their public and private lives.

Princesses & Pornstars is a bold mix of personal story, interview, analysis and polemic. It's a call to arms for a generation that grew up thinking the struggle was over.
