Summary
"In this, the first full exploration of the showgirl, Andrea Stuart places centre-stage individual showgirls Mistinguett, Josephine Baker, Colette, Mae West, Marlene Dietrich, and Barbette. She brings them and a full international supporting cast of showgirls to seductive life, examining their careers and performances as well as highlighting the shifting social anxieties of the times in which they lived and from which they drew their inspiration."--Jacket
