If the burlesque stripper, with her bawdy spirit and unruly
insubordination, has emerged for many as a new 'empowering' model
for the sexually aware woman, then she also strikes horror in the
heart of second wave feminism. Embodied by high profile artistes
such as Dita von Teese and Catherine D'Lish, the explosive revival
of striptease, burlesque and overt female sexual performance has
proved no less alluring to a new generation of women artists
familiar with the provocative work of 70's performance artists such
as Hannah Wilke and Carolee Schneeman. Eloquent on 'prettiness' and
power, desire and 'knowingness', money, sex and class, and with an
extensive knowledge of burlesque's rich tradition, Willson raises
long overdue questions about women's erotic expression within a
'postfeminist' condition. The 'new burlesque' demands above all a
response - this fresh, brazen, provocative book at last provides
it.
