Sumario:Wrapped in moral judgments about sexual conduct and shrouded in titillating intrigue, legal prostitutes in Nevada's brothels frequently face oppression and unfair labor practices while managing stigma and isolation associated with their occupational identities. Rooted in organizational communication and feminist theories, this text engages with stories of women living and working in these 'hidden' organizations to interrogate issues related to labor rights, stigma, secrecy, privacy, and discrimination in the current legal brothel system.
