Xaviera Hollander
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Xaviera Hollander (born June 15, 1942) is a former prostitute and madam, best known as the author of The Happy Hooker: My Own Story (1971, ISBN 0060014164). The book was notable for its frankness at the time and is considered a landmark of positive writing about sex. She has since written a number of other books and produced plays in Amsterdam. For many years, she wrote an advice column for Penthouse magazine. Her latest book Child no More is the heartfelt story of Xaviera losing her mother.
