Join us to hear Beth Ashley in conversation with Kerry Miller, founder of Sex Ed Book Club, to uncover the history of the word 'slut', how slutshaming has changed over time and what it means in the 21st century.
According to ‘Slut Shaming in Adolescence’, a global study from the International Public, just under 80% of people will be slut-shamed at some point in their adolescence. Sluts is a ground-breaking investigation of slutshaming, how it continues to affect us today and what we can do to fight against it. Packed with informed research and statistics, real-life interviews and practical tips, Sluts gives readers the tools to deal with slutshaming, rethink the ideas that encourage us to shame those who are sexually expressive and empower us to have open conversations about sex. From the Roman Empire and religious communities, through to the Jonas Brothers and the ever-changing online world, Beth investigates exactly why slutshaming remains so pervasive across the globe, what that means for those most vulnerable in society, and what we can do to fight it.
