Burlesque West: Showgirls, Sex, and Sin in Postwar Vancouver - Paperback

by Becki Ross (Author)

Drawing on extensive archival materials and fifty first-person accounts of former dancers, strip-club owners, booking agents, choreographers, and musicians, Ross reveals stories that are deeply flavoured with an era before "striptease fell from grace because the world stopped dreaming."
