Big Porn Inc: Exposing the Harms of the Global Pornography Industry

Начало книги

Firstly, my gratitude to some of the best women in the country for working on this book with me.

My co-editor Abigail Bray – the way your mind works and the way you put words together, is a wonder to behold. Thank you for significant support and solidarity.

This book is also the product of the brilliance and dedication of a number of women, primary among them Renate Klein, Helen Pringle and Caroline Norma.

To the contributors – counted among the bravest people I know. I am indebted to you for your willingness to contribute and for continuing to speak out in the face of unrelenting opposition. Your names make an impressive and compelling line-up.

To those who shared their personal stories of suffering harm and damage from their own or another’s pornography use, deepest gratitude.

To Renate Klein and Susan Hawthorne at Spinifex Press for your belief in this project (even a cyclone couldn’t stop you!). Renate, thanks for keeping us on track and reminding us that there really was a deadline. And also for your special friendship over many years. Susan, for massive help with proofing (and so much more). Special acknowledgement to Deb Snibson for the strong cover design, Maree Hawken for careful and intelligent copy editing, Kath Harper for a comprehensive index, Nikki Anderson and Kate Page for publicity, along with Maralann Damiano, Jo O’Brien and Bernadette Green.
