About The Author

Beth Ashley is an investigative journalist who specialises in sex, relationships and social class. Her work ranges from light-hearted features on Gen Z dating culture to deep investigations into inequality, and has appeared in The Guardian, Refinery29, Vice, i-D, Dazed, Glamour, The Face, The Independent, Cosmopolitan, Stylist, Women’s Health, Mashable, The Metro and more. Beth has also consulted on Bumble’s podcast My Love Is… and has produced documentaries for Channel 4. She writes a lot about her working class background, with articles such as Does Class Impact the Way We Have Sex? And Not Worrying About Being Working Class Until I Went to Art School (which went viral on social media). Over the last few years she has cultivated a loyal (and growing) readership and community of social media followers (22,000 combined).

This book makes me proud to be a slut! Beth tackles the subject with diligence and compassion, examining the big bad slut-shamey world as well as the more private experiences of self-proclaimed (or accused) sluts. A must-read for anyone whose sexual expression has been used as a weapon against them
