Abolish Prostitution and Provide Real Alternatives
Rachel Salomon, "Couch Lady" 2006

Diana Russell was a feminist scholar and equally a feminist activist. She was one of the original “ïntersectional” feminists, opposing apartheid in South Africa, documenting childhood sexual abuse in the lives of women, opposing what she named “femicide,”  and opposing the gender identity ideology that limited sex-based women’s protections.
