Pretty Things: The Last Generation of American Burlesque

Pretty Things: The Last Generation of American Burlesque Queens – The Definitive Study of Golden Age Cabaret, Glamour, and Sexuality

â€œThe most comprehensive study on the era of burlesque.â€ â€”V Magazine

Training her journalistâ€™s eye on the glitter and glamour of American burlesqueâ€™s Greatest Generation, Liz Goldwyn takes readers on an enthralling tour of the original queens of the striptease. Goldwynâ€™s incisive expose is a retrospective of the sights and spectacles of burlesqueâ€™s golden ageâ€”and an intimate look at the women whose sexuality, ambition, and verve brought the cabaret stage to life. Today, as burlesque enters a heady resurgence worldwideâ€”with festivals around the globe, popular books like Burlesque Fetish and The Burlesque Handbook, and even a School of Burlesque in New York Cityâ€”Pretty Things offers a unique and exciting look at its formative past and its earliest heroines.
