Reviews
Paid For is the political sword we desperately need to slay once and for all the myths and fairytales surrounding the sex trade. Sojourner Truth once said that truth is powerful and it prevails. Rachel Moran's earth-shaking book embodies just that., This is surely the best, most personal, profound, eye-opening book ever written about prostitution--irrefutable proof of why it should NEVER be legalized., As a survivor, I can say Paid For got to the heart of what sex-trafficked and prostituted women face on a daily basis. Rachel speaks for those survivors who can't speak for themselves, and for those who have been lost to the life., "Paid For is a deeply moving personal story combined with a brilliant analysis of the forces that drive the commercial sex industry--a "must read" for all.", "Rachel Moran demolishes the "Pretty Woman" myth with the stark reality of the lived experience of her young years in prostitution. This memoir makes a strong case for the Nordic model law that criminalizes the buyers whose money drives the trade that treats women as objects for sale.", "With rare courage and candor, Rachel Moran strips away the many falsehoods and fictions that disguise sexual slavery as "sex work" and shows it for what it really is--human exploitation and degradation. ...In the great tradition of antislavery literature, from Frederick Douglass and Harriet Jacobs to today, Moran confronts us with truths that we dare not ignore and with guides on organizing that we all can, and must, support. She wants us to become abolitionists. After reading Paid For, we will know why we should.", No amount of theory from those who have never been prostituted can replace the truth and power of experience. Rachel Moran''s Paid For should be required reading in courses on human rights, in police training and law schools, and in sex education courses that separate welcome sex from body invasion., Paid For fuses the memoirist''s lived poignancy with the philosopher''s conceptual sophistication. The result is riveting, compelling, incontestable. Impossible to put down. , People who are working to end sexual exploitation will take heart from her example of transformation and an insistence on basic human dignity., Paid For is the political sword we desperately need to slay once and for all the myths and fairytales surrounding the sex trade. Sojourner Truth once said that truth is powerful and it prevails. Rachel Moran''s earth-shaking book embodies just that., Paid For fuses the memoirist's lived poignancy with the philosopher's conceptual sophistication. The result is riveting, compelling, incontestable. Impossible to put down. , Paid For fuses the memoirist's lived poignancy with the philosopher's conceptual sophistication. The result is riveting, compelling, incontestable. Impossible to put down. , "Rachel Moran takes us where no readers have ever gone: into the deep hell of being prostituted... Anyone who believes "sex work" is chosen or a job like any other should read Paid For for its exposure of misinformation and myths alone. But the book is more: Moran writes so well that her story will scorch your heart....", Through her profoundly personal account, Rachel Moran unmasks the extreme violence of the commercial sex trade. Her solution--penalizing the demand for commercial sex by holding pimps, brothel-keepers and buyers accountable for the harm they cause--comes from both her first-hand experience and a deep analysis of the realities of prostitution. I salute Rachel for her courage, candor and commitment in writing this game-changing book., No amount of theory from those who have never been prostituted can replace the truth and power of experience. Rachel Moran's Paid For should be required reading in courses on human rights, in police training and law schools, and in sex education courses that separate welcome sex from body invasion.

The result is riveting, compelling, incontestable. Impossible to put down.

MacKinnon, law professor, University of Michigan and Harvard University Born into an unstable family, Rachel Moran left home at the age of fourteen. Being homeless, she became prostituted to survive. With intelligence and empathy, she describes the fears she and others had working on the streets and in the brothels. Moran also speaks to the psychological damage that accompanies prostitution and the estrangement from one's body. At the age of twenty-two, Moran escaped prostitution. She has since become a writer and an abolitionist activist., "The best work by anyone on prostitution ever, Rachel Moran's Paid For fuses the memoirist's lived poignancy with the philosopher's conceptual sophistication.
