<p> The second I entered The Lion's Den, passing the doorman through darkened hallways toward a parquet dancing stage, Price&#8210;Glynn's rich description brought me into the dilapidated and ironically profitable (for some) world of the strip club. Her deeply affecting observations make us keenly aware of the social practices that perpetuate gross inequalities. Her ethnography is both brutally honest, and sociologically sophisticated in its examination of both the fragility and tenacity of social rankings based on gender, sex, and social class. <br>

( Price-Glynn contrasts the aspirations of the strippers with the club's design, rules, expectations, and practices, all of which served to exploit their labor. She argues that without listening to sex workers and addressing their abuse and lack of power, feminists will never take the real battle- the one against structural oppression- to the ring. )-(Ms. Magazine), ()
