In \u003ci\u003ePutafeminista\u003c\/i\u003e, activist and sex worker Monique Prada calls for feminists to retire this hypocrisy and embrace putafeminism: a working class women's movement that rejects whorephobia and its classist, colonial dimensions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on her firsthand experiences with sex work and movement building, Prada argues for the validity of sex work as feminist labor and tracks the innovations introduced by Brazilian sex workers to feminist internet discourse, street actions, and governmental advocacy. For readers seeking the glimmers of tomorrow's feminism, Prada places that future with putafeminists, naming the brothel a \"final frontier\" for all women to gather, reform, and revolt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonique Prada\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of \u003cem\u003ePutafeminista, \u003c\/em\u003epublished in 2018 in Brazil.
