The Feminist Porn Book continues to generate lots of press, and here is a roundup of some of the most recent media mentions:
- “All the writers offer theorized, analytic reflection and many of the scholars reflect on their own relationships to porn. The result is a richly detailed look at feminist porn grounded in diverse personal involvements and critical perspectives.” from Feminist Porn: A review of The Feminist Porn Book by Erica Rand in Jump Cut
- Slutist excerpted Jane Ward’s chapter “Queer Feminist Pigs” from The Feminist Porn Book
- In September, The Feminist Porn Book contributor Sinnamon Love appeared on Meghan McCain’s new talk show “Raising McCain,” Episode 2, (“Feminism”) to talk about feminism and porn on Pivot TV.
- Originally published in May, Anna Breslaw’s interview with Tristan Taormino, “So What Is Feminist Porn? Find Out from A Woman Who Makes It” on Cosmopolitan.com, received renewed attention in November and lots more traffic and discussion. In fact, it prompted Morality in Media to issue an angry press release and letter-writing campaign where it accused Cosmo of “promoting porn to girls” and feminist pornographers of exploiting female performers. Cosmo replied with this post: Christian Group is Mad About Our Feminist Porn Article.
- Bust Magazine did a piece, “Can Porn Be Feminist? Tristan Taormino Says Yes,” that summarizes the Cosmo interview mostly.
- Co-Editor Celine Parrenas Shimizu was a guest on the HuffPost Live segment, “Amateur Hour: The Rise of Do-It-Yourself Porn”
- Huffington Post also re-purposed the Cosmo interview with “Tristan Taormino, Adult Filmmaker, Reveals the Truth About Feminist Porn“
