- Description
- In this book Buonaventura shows how women have found in dance a way of accommodating social constraints and subverting their sting, and at how dance has given them independence and a way out of poverty. It also looks at how the battle of the sexes has been played out on the dance floor. Attention is paid to Isadora Duncan, Josephine Baker, tango in Buenos Aires, entertainers of the Moulin Rouge, Black American's cakewalk and charleston, Arabic dance in the Middle East.
