Abstract

This introduction to the translation of the text "The Invention of Sex Work" by Carol Leigh seeks to briefly reconstruct her trajectory and to point out some elements of the context in which this text was produced. In this way, the aim is to enable a broader reading of the text and at the same time to mark some clues that may allow us to understand its political and conceptual importance.
