Showing Striptease: The Untold History of the Girlie Show by Rachel Shteir

Talks about the Golden Age of striptease, the years between the Jazz Age and the Sexual Revolution, when strippers performed around the country, in burlesque theaters, nightclubs, carnivals, fairs, and even in glorious palaces on the Great White Way. This book presents a portrait of an art form at once reviled and embraced by the American public.
