Light the Way.......2002-05-31
This is not an easy review to write because the truth is that Dr. Stubbs' work has totally changed my perspective as to the reasons why women and men participate in sexual work. I am amazed with the information and it's presentation and could hardly put the work down as each chapter opened my mind to the sacredness and necessity of this area of service to humanity. I heard the voices of these women and their concern for the healing of clients and their dedication to wholeness. The material was organized in an easy to understand and intimate first voice monologues that were both compelling and entertaining; at night I could hardly put the work down. The subject matter is essential for every woman to read as we try to find our way through the mis-information that our society has given us about our role and seek to appreicate the gift of sexuality.
Thank you Dr. Stubbs!!.......2002-04-21
I really loved this book. I bought it during a tantra workshop, started reading and couldn't put it down. It was an eye opening look into the spirit of a few women who have been unwilling to let the prevailing culture dictate who they are as sexual beings. I really appreciate Dr. Stubbs dedication to the sexually empowered woman.
Women of the Light.......2002-04-15
Women of the Light is spiritually and sexually liberating! "The Masseuse" chapter and the "Conclusion: From Sexual Sterotype to Archetype" by the editor are particularly powerful in the ways they elevate consciousness about the sacredness of sexuality and healthy sensuality.
A Liberation In Print.......2002-02-27
Reading WOMEN OF THE LIGHT has been a true healing for me. I could never have imagined the totality of validation and self-recognition I've gained from meeting the stories of these nine wombn. It's all too easy in this often closedminded society, to quickly reject the term "sacred prostitute" as oxymoronic. However, the collection wombn featured in this book will challenge any reader to open their world view of the sacred, of wombn and of vocational integrity. For this alone it's a must read!
Mr. Stubbs, I am more free now as a healer and a wombn than before I read your book, and I know that the seed of this liberation will continue to root more deeply and flower for a long time to come.
Sacred Sex or just Prostitutes - You Decide........2000-08-01
Twenty five years ago a major ruckus was caused when My Secret Garden : Women's Sexual Fantasies by Nancy Friday hit the book racks. Men and women who feared their erotic fantasies called it pornographic, yet today books on sexuality, segregate sex partners, orgasm coaches and sacred prostitutes are in vogue.
Using the BIP CD Rom the keyword "sex" brought up 6,058 matching titles --- someone out there darling is focusing on the physical. One of those writers is Kenneth Stubbs', In "Women of the Light" Stubbs has collected nine essays that look at the exploits of the nine "sacred prostitutes". These are various women who supposedly bring together "spirituality" and sex for money (about the same way a professional athlete brings together "spirituality" and "sports" for money - not). This is a radical book attempting to make the case that "sexwork" can be a source of healing, psychological growth and spiritual awareness. You decide. Conditionally Recommend.
