Rachel Shteir offers a comprehensive examination of Gypsy Rose Lee, the celebrated burlesque performer who transformed the art of the striptease into a sophisticated cultural performance. By tracing Lee’s trajectory from the vaudeville circuit to her status as a literary and media icon, the book illuminates the complex intersection of gender, celebrity, and American theater history during the mid-twentieth century.
