Wendy Chapkis has published widely in the area of gender and sexuality including two books, Beauty Secrets (on women and the politics of appearance)and Live Sex Acts (on prostitution policies in the U.S. and the Netherlands).

This interest informs her most recent book, Dying to Get High: marijuana as medicine, which presents the perspective of seriously and terminally patients and their caregivers in the Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana.
