This volume reveals the history of the striptease from its roots in popular stage shows to its wonderfully garish heyday. Since the mid-19th century, striptease artists have bumped, grinded and disrobed their way through vaudeville shows, the burlesque touring circuit, World's Fair venues, midway carnivals and theatres around the world. The book highlights such performers as Isadora Duncan, Ruth St Denis, Maud Allen, Loie Fuller, Gypsy Rose Lee, Ann Corio, Tempest Storm and Blaze Starr.

Jessica Glasscock earned a bachelor's degree in English from New York University. Following school, she became a feminist activist, working for the American Civil Liberties Union's Women's Rights and Reproductive Freedom Projects. During her tenure at the ACLU, she discovered an interest in the history of women's fashion as it intersected with women's history and freedom of expression. To pursue these interests, she joined New York University's Department of Art and Art Professions, where she earned a Master's Degree in Visual Culture and wrote a thesis on the birth of striptease. She has published articles on Cindy Sherman, Rei Kawakubo, Vivienne Westwood, and the history of burlesque.
