Bookish presents SLUTDOM: Reclaiming Shame-free Sexuality with Dr Hilary Caldwell
Event description
‘When women are enjoying better sex, the people they have sex with will too. Sexual equality is good for everyone.’
Despite decades of activism, women are still burdened with the effects of slut shaming in everyday life. Finally, here is a book that argues convincingly and passionately for women’s enjoyment of sex as a force to advance gender equality.
Delving into topics such as pleasure, pain, empowerment, and including real women’s stories and saucy tips, sexologist and academic Hilary Caldwell is uniquely placed to understand what women want – and, importantly, what women deserve.
Deeply researched and drawn from the author’s own life experience, Slutdom is controversial, celebratory and courageous.
Join us at Emporium Creative Hub on Saturday afternoon, 30th August, to hear Hilary discuss her work. Books will be available for sale and signing on the day.
Dr Hilary Caldwell is an academic with a Masters in Health Science and Applied Science. Her doctorate, ‘Women Who Buy Sex in Australia’ was the first study in the world to explore women buying sexual services and was informed by her professional career in the field of sexology. She is kinky and queer, a mother and grandmother.
Slutdom is published by UQP, Australian Small Publisher of the Year 2025, 2023, 2022 & 2021
