Beth Ashley

Beth Ashley is a British journalist and author whose work examines sex, relationships, and the language we use to talk about women's sexuality. Her writing is frank, funny, and deeply researched, challenging stigma and double standards with intelligence and warmth. Sluts reclaims and reexamines one of the most loaded words in the English language, exploring its history, its impact, and the way it has been used to police and shame women's sexuality. Ashley draws on interviews, research, and personal experience to create a book that is both a cultural history and a call for change. It was praised for its honesty, its humour, and its importance as a feminist text. Ashley's journalism has appeared in major publications, and she is known for her ability to tackle sensitive subjects with both seriousness and accessibility. Sluts is available as an audiobook alongside the print edition, offering listeners a thought-provoking and entertaining way to engage with the politics and culture of female sexuality.
