BottomDr Hilary Caldwell is an academic with Masters in Health Science and in Applied Science. Her doctorate, ‘Women Who Buy Sex in Australia’ was the first study in the world to explore women buying sexual services and was informed by her professional career in the field of sexology and two decades of sex work. The transformative nature of women’s sexual empowerment, a major finding of her PhD, challenged her own submission to slut-shaming because she had kept her sex work a secret. Slutdom: Reclaiming shame-free sexuality, is the result of writing her own story and those of fifty other women who claim their power through sexual awakenings. Hilary is kinky and queer, a mother and grandmother.
