Burlesque West: Showgirls, Sex, and Sin in Postwar Vancouver - Ross, Becki L.

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; This book is a trailblazer in Canadian social and cultural history. With passion and sensitivity, Ross explores a subject largely ignored until now - that of post-WII erotic entertainment. Ross's interviews with dancers, strippers, club owners, and musicians and immeasurably to the book and allow her to draw multifaceted pictures of dancers' whole lives, not just their work lives. Women's voices come through strongly, not only revealing essential insider information and descriptions, but also adding humanity and complexity to the story.
