Revolting Prostitutes: The Fight for Sex Workers' Rights is a 2018 book by sex workers Juno Mac and Molly Smith. They analyse the effects of varying sex work policies, arguing for full decriminalisation. The book covers topics including survival sex, migrant sex work, feminist views on sex work, and drug use among sex workers. The authors believe that common criticisms of sex work are more general issues with capitalism. The book received positive critical reception. Background The authors Juno Mac and Molly Smith entered the sex work industry around 2010 at the ages of 20. Mac's previous job was a year-long internship at a magazine for £30 per day, while Smith previously worked at a coffee shop. Initially liberal feminists, the pair became involved in sex workers' rights activism, eventually identifying as communists. They were both involved in the Sex Worker Advocacy and Resistance Movement (SWARM); Smith was involved in the Edinburgh charity SCOT-PEP, which advocates for sex work decriminalisation. They met in April 2013 at an activist event in Glasgow. Smith said her activism led her to develop her views relating to other areas including migration, drug criminalisation, and capitalism. The book was published in November 2018. That month, launch events in Ireland took place in Cork and Dublin. A second edition was published in March 2020.

Using a Marxist feminist and materialist framework, they argue that issues with sex work are not unique to the industry, but are instead issues of labour exploitation under capitalism. The authors hold the perspective that almost all sex work is done out of material necessity. They discuss survival sex as well as groups including disabled people, undocumented migrants, or the LGBTQ community who may have no job options other than sex work. Mac and Smith criticise anti-prostitution feminism and carceral feminism, a movement advocating lengthier prison sentences and more stringent law enforcement to solve social issues relating to sex. They provide evidence that legal restrictions in some countries have
