Neon Girls: A Stripper's Education in Protest and Power
Details:
When graduate student Jenny Worley needed a fast way to earn more money, she found herself at the door of the Lusty Lady Theater in San Francisco, auditioning on a stage surrounded by mirrors, in platform heels, and not much else. So began Jenny's career as a stripper strutting the peepshow stage as her alter-ego "Polly" alongside women called Octopussy and Amnesia. But this wasn't your run-of-the-mill strip club - it was a peepshow populated by free-thinking women who swap dogeared copies of Foucault-like lipstick.
