- Description
- Shteir brings to life striptease's Golden Age, the years between the Jazz Age and the Sexual Revolution, when strippers performed around the country, in burlesque theatres, nightclubs, vaudeville houses, carnivals, fairs, and even in glorious palaces on the Great White Way. Shteir introduces the reader to a diverse cast of characters that collided on the burlesque stage, from tight-laced political reformers and flamboyant impresarios, to drag queens, shimmy girls, cootch dancers, tit serenaders, and even girls next door, lured into the profession by big-city aspirations.

- Description
- First printing 1991. At a time when there were few women directors in commercial films, the post-war avant-garde movement offered women an opportunity to express themselves through cinema. Focusing on Maya Deren, Shirley Clarke, and Joyce Wieland, Rabinovitz illustrrates how women used bold physical images to enhance their work and how each filmmaker provided entrée to her subversive art while remaining culturally acceptable. She combines archival materials with her own interviews to show how the women's labour and films, even their identities as women filmmakers, were produced and understood.
