Here she discusses using oral history – ‘history from below’ – to document what can seem to be a secret or hidden world, and telling stories that are both extraordinary and ordinary.The book is illustrated with photographs taken by Madeleine Slavick, commissioned especially for this publication.
‘One thing I’d like to see is the recognition of sex workers as ordinary, sometimes rather extraordinary, people.’
