Loose Women In Tights: Images of Femininity in Early Burlesque Performance

Loose Women In Tights: Images of Femininity in Early Burlesque Performance. "...The Collection of Exotic Dance from Burlesque to Clubs, donated to the Lawrence and Lee Institute by Dr. McCaghy, contains a wide variety of materials – including books, photographs, periodicals, sound recordings, promotional materials, videos, personal notes and interviews, and other assorted memorabilia – spanning from the mid-nineteenth century to the present day, and exploring all aspects of striptease in performance. This exhibit is meant to provide just a sampling of some of the earlier materials in the collection, contextualized within the historical and theoretical discourses surrounding burlesque."
