This book covers a tremendous amount of ground and offers a complicated, interdisciplinary, and yet highly accessible approach to subjects that have mostly been treated separately: beauty contestants and strippers, Miss American Pageants and strip acts. Foley shows beyond any doubt that these two theatrical forms are historically and formally linked to one another. This is a tremendous accomplishment. --Carolyn J. Dean, Professor of History, Brown University
