Summary of Striptease: From Gaslight To Spotlight

This volume reveals the history of the striptease from its roots in popular stage shows to its wonderfully garish heyday. Since the mid-19th century, striptease artists have bumped, grinded and disrobed their way through vaudeville shows, the burlesque touring circuit, World's Fair venues, midway carnivals and theatres around the world. The book highlights such performers as Isadora Duncan, Ruth St Denis, Maud Allen, Loie Fuller, Gypsy Rose Lee, Ann Corio, Tempest Storm and Blaze Starr.
