A fast-paced tale of a woman who was not ashamed of her occupation, it is honest in its portrayal of the persistent cruelties--small and significant--faced by sex workers and celebrates the power they have to triumph over it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCages \u003c\/i\u003etouches upon the themes of patriarchy, gendered violence, sisterhood, and the validity of a woman's sexual desires. Even fifty years after it was first written, it makes you realize that some things don't change--as long as predatory men are around, women will have to fight to retain control over their bodies, their identities, and their ability to say no.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Aabid Surti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0670092703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780670092703\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e India Viking\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Aabid Surti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48443608006911,"sku":"9780670092703","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93df5331-654b-4ec4-a4ed-8c7790250ce7.jpg?v=1777206592","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cages-aabid-surti-9780670092703","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
