Are "Smut" Books Literature?

from Always Booked Podcast · host Always Booked

The word "smut" didn't start as an insult to women's sexuality. It was made into one and we don't it was an accident. In this episode, we dig into the real history of the word "smut." Where it came from, how it got weaponized, and why culture specifically uses it to dismiss and belittle what women read. From book culture to broader society, we get into why this label exists and who it's really designed to silence.CONNECT WITH US:📲 Follow us on Instagram → / always.bookd 🌐 Visit our website → https://www.alwaysbooked.net
