The New Sex Wars: Towards a Feminism with Teeth is a sharp, thoughtful intervention into contemporary feminist debates around sex, violence, and pleasure. This engaging book draws on the history of the feminist sex wars of the 1980s, in which feminists took theoretical and activist stances on how to respond to sex work, pornography, and kink, Jolie asserts that the ghosts of these wars ought to haunt us into more expansive paths forward. The New Sex Wars invites us to consider how faith in the possibility of sexual liberation can help us fight the most dangerous forms of growing authoritarianism.
