In the US, Wyoming prostitutes gave women the right to vote. Because women were so scarce in the territory, they held a lot of power, political and economic. Wyoming women demanded the right to vote and hold office and the men ratified the right happily. When the US wanted Wyoming to join the union, Wyoming’s response was “not without our women”. So, that’s how Wyoming became the first state in the union to allow women citizens to vote.
I don’t know in general, but Lou Graham, the Seattle Madam is a pretty famous historical figure and did an immense amount of good, including HUGE donations to children’s education.

Basically any radical history or sex worker activist or history of sex work that doesn’t have a bullshit agenda.
Sorry I’d be more particular but I’m nowhere near sober.
