In the Eye of International Feminism

Cold Sex Wars in Taiwan

This paper proposes that sex work and feminism have been knotted and kept apart in much of Anglophone feminism in part due to historical and historiographic reasons. This conundrum casts a long shadow on former cold war territories like Taiwan, and has a bearing on the shape taken by feminist politics therein, notably in the "sex wars" of the 1990s.

I am grateful to interlocutors and readers in presentations of parts of this argument in Dhaka, Chungli, Taipei, Sydney, Hong Kong, and Hsinchu. My thanks especially to two readers with whose questions I continue to work. All mistakes are mine.
