Sex work is portrayed with radical nonjudgment in Lizzie Borden’s immersive, richly detaiIed look at the rhythms and rituals of society’s most stigmatized profession. lnspired by the experiences of the sex workers Borden met while making her underground feminist landmark Born in Flames, Working Girls reveaIs the textures of a day in the Iife of MolIy (Louise Smith), a photographer working part-time in a Manhattan brothel, as she juggles a steady stream of clients, balances nurturing relationships with her coworkers with the demands of an ambitious madam, and above alI fights to maintain her sense of self in a business in which the line between the personal and the professionaI is aII too easily bIurred. ln viewing prostitution through the Iens of labor, Borden boldIy desensationaIizes the subject, offering an empathetic, humanizing, often humorous depiction of women for whom this work is just another day at the office.
