4🌟 This was a moving and interesting deep dive into the authors experience in the sex trade industry.

At it's core it's a story about female empowerment, of women taking a stand and refusing to be discriminated against any longer.

An intimate and real look at strip clubs, Jennifer discusses all the downsides of being a stripper, but also the invaluable ideals that it taught her.
