In 1971, the New York madame Xaviera Hollander wrote "The Happy Hooker: My Own Story", a book that was notable for its frankness at the time, and considered a landmark of positive writing about sex. An early forerunner (1920s-1930s) of Xaviera Hollander's, both as a madam and author, was Polly Adler, whose bestselling book, "A House Is Not a Home", was eventually adapted as a film also entitled "A House is Not a Home". Carol Leigh, a prostitute's rights activist known as the "Scarlot Harlot," coined the term "Sex worker" in 1978. That same year, the Broadway musical "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" opened. It was based on the real-life Texas Chicken Ranch brothel. The play was the basis for the 1982 film starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds.
