SAN FRANCISCO — Carol Leigh, a San Francisco activist who is credited with coining the term “sex work” and who sought for decades to improve conditions for prostitutes and others in the adult entertainment business, has died. She was 71.
Kate Marquez, the executor of her estate, said Ms. Leigh died Wednesday of cancer, the San Francisco Chronicle reported Thursday.
A former prostitute, Ms. Leigh devoted herself to campaigning on behalf of those in the “sex work industry,” a term she coined as the title for a panel discussion she attended at a feminist anti-pornography conference in 1978, according to an essay she wrote.
The term has become generally used by public health officials, academic researchers and others.
“Carol defined sex work as a labor issue, not a crime, not a sin,” Marquez said. “It is a job done by a million people in this country who are stigmatized and criminalized by working to support their families.”
“Ultimately, Leigh argued that until sex workers are included in the conversations about feminism, sexuality and legality – conversations from which they have historically been excluded – sex workers will remain fragmented rather than collective, and stigmatisation will abound,” said a tweet Thursday from SWARM (Sex Worker Advocacy and Resistance Movement), which describes itself as a sex worker-led collective founded in the United Kingdom in 2009.
Ms. Leigh co-founded BAYSWAN, also known as Bay Area Sex Worker Advocacy Network, which according to its website works with human rights activists to address problems such as human trafficking in the industry as well as labor and civil rights violations.
Ms. Leigh was deeply involved in advocacy for and aid to sex workers both in the United States and overseas and her concerns ranged from decriminalization to poverty, drug use and HIV. She also was a video artist and produced award-winning documentaries on “women’s issues and gay/lesbian issues,” according to her BAYSWAN biography.
She wrote and frequently performed a one-woman political satire play called “The Adventures of Scarlot Harlot,” and wrote a 2004 book titled “Unrepentant Whore: The Collected Work of Scarlot Harlot.” She also helped produce the San Francisco Sex Worker Film and Arts Festival.
Born in New York City, Ms. Leigh had a bachelor’s degree in creative writing when she moved to San Francisco in 1977. She began working as a prostitute to earn money but her focus changed after she was raped by two men at a sex studio in 1979, she told SFGate in a 1996 interview.
She couldn't file a crime report because her workplace would have been closed.
“The fact that I couldn’t go to the police to report the rape meant that I was not going to be able to protect other women from these rapists," she said. “And I vowed to do something to change that."
Ms. Leigh’s papers will be archived at Harvard University’s Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, Marquez said.

Alito will have to find a new hobby.
Lost in all the midterm post-mortems and crypto implosion schadenfreude is a historic vote that took place in the newly lame duck Senate. This week the Senate voted to pass the Respect for Marriage Act, a bill that goes a long way toward codifying same-sex marriage on a federal level, effectively telling the various Heritage Foundation flunkies on the Roberts court to keep their grubby mitts off. Cool, now do abortion rights.
The Dobbs decision, a poorly reasoned, mean-spirited opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito with all the charm of canker sore, finally motivated Dems and the few Republicans yet to renounce their humanity to codify same-sex marriage into law. The act stops short of forcing individual states to issue same-sex marriage licenses but it does require all states to recognize same-sex marriages from all states where its legal. It also recognizes the marriages on a federal level for the purposes of programs like social security and medicare.
Post midterm Dems wasted no time in bringing the bill to a vote. No time like the present especially when Clarence Thomas drew a bright red target around Obergefell v. Hodges, the case that cleared the way for same-sex marriage, in his concurring opinion on Dobbs. The court has been telling us who they are and the Democratic leadership finally decided to believe them. This vote moves the bill to the floor for a final vote after which it can be sent to the house, which passed a version this summer, to be amended.

8 Things From 'Friends' That Wouldn't Fly Today

The HBO Max show returns on November 17th.
Welcome to Essex College, the prestigious university in Vermont on Sex Lives of College Girls . Essex looks to be a fictionalized version of an Ivy University in the likes of Brown, Harvard, Yale, or Cornell. In the fall of 2021, Mindy Kaling and co-creator Justin Noble brought to us this new comedy series on HBO Max. We are introduced to freshmen college roommates Whitney ( Alyah Chanelle Scott ), Kimberly ( Pauline Chalamet ), and Bela ( Amrit Kaur ) who are genuinely stoked to be assigned together. Leighton ( Reneé Rapp ), their fourth roommate, is a little less excited as she thought she’d be rooming with two friends from high school. The four come from very different backgrounds, but as most college roommates do, they wind up bonding and realizing that they have to be there to support each other no matter what. Season 2 premieres November 17th, but before we move forward, we have to look back. Here’s a reminder of where we left the girls in Season 1.
Whitney is a superstar soccer player who also happens to be the daughter of a U.S. Senator ( Sherri Shepherd ). Whitney is by all accounts very talented on the soccer field, but it is clear that some of her new teammates believe she may just be there because of good old-fashioned nepotism. It also didn’t help that she was having a secret love affair with her assistant coach, Dalton ( James Morosini ). Dalton tells Whitney repeatedly that his marriage is over, even if it isn’t the slightest bit true. When he finally does break it off with her, she is devastated and decides to have a one-night fling with Kimberly’s co-worker, Canaan ( Chris Meyer ).
Soon enough, the rumor of her affair comes out and she decides to come clean to her best friend on the team, Willow ( Renika Williams ), and eventually Coach Woods ( Jillian Armenante ). She also finds out that she was not the only student that Dalton had been having affairs with in his coaching years. Dalton is fired, but unfortunately, so is Coach Woods in a devastating side effect. Afraid of how her teammates will react, she apologizes but is thrilled to find that they support her and remind her that he was in a power position over her, and it was his responsibility to stop it before it got out of control. Whitney, feeling more confident, re-examines her hookup with Canaan and realizes he may be more than just a one-night stand. When her mother finds out, she is also apologetic to her daughter that she made Whitney feel like she couldn’t come to her in her time of need. The two vow to have more open communication going forward.
Probably the most naive of the four, Kimberly hails from a majorly white small town in Arizona. She is very eager to prove to everyone that she is open-minded and an aggressive ally, sometimes in a harmless, but overbearing manner. She is definitely aware that she is the poorest of her crew and has to take a job at a campus coffee shop with Canaan and another co-worker, Lila ( Ilia Isorelýs Paulino ), who both constantly tease her about her naïveté. On her first weekend, her high school boyfriend, Max ( Matthew Gold ), comes to visit, and they lose their virginity to each other. Afterward, Max promptly breaks up with her, sending Kimberly into a rage. She finds herself with an immediate crush on Leighton’s brother, Nico ( Gavin Leatherwood ), and manages to get him to tutor her in her French class.
The two bond and wind up sleeping together.. a lot. Kimberly is so addicted to their sex life, she begins to blow off work shifts and classes. This results in her falling behind in her schoolwork. Nico offers her a copy of her upcoming Economics exam since his fraternity has files of exams from all professors on campus. Against her better judgment, she uses it and gets caught almost immediately. Even worse, she finds out that Nico has a girlfriend who has been studying abroad. Infuriated, she decides to steal the exams from the fraternity house and use it as collateral for the disciplinary board. It works. They don’t expel her, but she does lose her scholarship which puts her in quite a predicament.
Leighton coming to Essex seems more like a family tradition than a choice. Her brother Nico goes there and her father, Henry ( Rob Heubel ), is an overly proud alumnus. Nico incessantly nudges her to date one of his fraternity brothers, but the truth is, Leighton is deep in the closet and instead has a whole secret dating life. When she’s caught vandalizing a campus statue, she is sentenced to 100 hours of community service at the on-campus women’s center. Leighton dreads her new assignment, but she winds up getting to know a lot of the people there who are all working through a variety of sexuality and gender issues. Although Leighton doesn't come out, she does learn a lot by hearing and aiding in others' struggles.
Leighton bonds with the head of the women’s center Alicia ( Midori Francis ), and even convinces her to attend one of Nico’s fraternity parties to show her that not all fraternities are bad. The evening goes pretty badly, but it does end up with Leighton kissing Alicia and the two striking up a relationship. The problem is, Alicia doesn’t want to get dragged back into the closet and Leighton seems to have no interest in coming out any time soon, if at all. Alicia breaks it off with Leighton. As hard as she tries, she cannot get over Alicia and winds up in bed depressed and crying. Even though she loves to push her roommates away, when Kimberly shows up to comfort her, Leighton lets her. She also comes out to her and confesses how scared she is about never getting Alicia back.
Bela is desperate to be a comedy writer and enrolled in Essex mainly to be a part of their famous Comedy magazine, "The Catullan" (which looks to be loosely based on The Harvard Lampoon ). Bela’s strict Indian parents are under the impression that she is there to study medicine, but she only has comedy on the brain. She is outspokenly sex-positive and wants to know details of everybody’s sex lives all the time. She finds out quickly that The Catullan is very exclusive and majorly male-dominated. She uses unusual tactics to get noticed by the editors including giving hand jobs to six of the male members, one of which is the boyfriend of Evangeline ( Sierra Katow ), another writer.
The two begin as enemies but eventually form an alliance as there are so few females. Bela is overjoyed at being selected for the final round but is quickly uncomfortable as co-editor Ryan ( Conor Donnally ) forces her to watch a porn movie without her consent. She blows it off initially not wanting to harm her chances of being accepted even though her roommates are horrified when she tells them what happened. She does wind up being selected for the staff with another writer, Carla ( Isabella Roland ), who confesses that she too was sexually harassed by Ryan. Together, they decide to report him to the other Co-Editor, Eric ( Mekki Leeper ). Eric does not believe her but Evangeline does. Bela turns to Leighton who brings her to the women’s center where Alicia helps Carla and Bela report Ryan to the University. Eric holds a vote, and they decide to get rid of Ryan . Not all the (male) writers are pleased that Ryan was kicked out and blame Bela for the disruption. Bela decides to quit as she held The Catullan on a pedestal and basically, it just sucks. Evangeline goes with her, and they decide to start a new female comedy magazine for Essex.
Jennifer McHugh is a Los Angeles-based writer. She refuses to binge-watch anything.
