For those of you who are familiar with her blog, "The Honest Courtesan," you probably already know that former courtesan turned sex worker rights activitst Maggie McNeill is scheduled to be in town signing her book at The Bookhouse the evening of July 30th. Take advantage of your chance to meet her.
For those of you here on this site who are NOT familiar with her writings, no matter which side of the equation, well, you should be! Start with her Introduction (tabbed at the top of her blog), her daily musings, or just thumb through her back catalog. Usually edifying and always thought provoking. You may disagree with her politics, but you will enjoy her perspective. Definitely relevant to the topic at hand.
