Reclaiming Our Power: A Spotlight on Dr. Hilary Caldwell’s SLUTDOM

Have you ever been called a slut? The word is oftn weaponsised against women.

Despite decades of activism, women are still burdened with the effects of slut shaming in everyday life. Dr. Hilary Caldwell’s new book, SLUTDOM, argues convincingly and passionately for women’s enjoyment of sex as a force to advance gender equality.

Joining host Sandy Lowres, Hilary is delving into topics such as pleasure, pain, empowerment, and real women’s stories. Hilary is uniquely placed to understand what women want or need – and, importantly, what women deserve. Hilary has drawn on her unique experiences and academic background, and being a sex worker,  to create an in-depth, fascinating, provocative, and thought-provoking call to arms. As an academic with a Masters in Health Science and Applied Science, and a groundbreaking doctorate titled ‘Women Who Buy Sex in Australia,’ she has spent years studying and understanding the dynamics of women’s sexual experiences. This deep research, combined with her own life experiences as a sex worker and a queer mother and grandmother, positions her as a powerful voice in the conversation about women’s sexual empowerment.

SLUTDOM is controversial, celebratory, and courageous. Deeply researched and enriched by the author's personal experiences, the book is a bold call to action for women everywhere to reclaim their sexual power and redefine their sexual identities on their own terms.

Dr. Hilary Caldwell’s work is a testament to the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the vital role of sexual empowerment in achieving it. Her insights and advocacy are a beacon for women seeking to embrace their sexuality unapologetically and with pride.We at The Good Girl Confessional Podcast are excited to delve into these themes and more with Dr Hilary Caldwell. Join us as we explore the transformative power of sexual empowerment and what it means for women over 40, 50, 60, and beyond.  This is a powerful and thought provoking conversation.
