Hailed as an "endlessly fascinating biography of an extraordinary
woman" (Daily Express) and "a page turner" (Independent), Noralee
Frankel's lively biography illuminates the fascinating career of
Gypsy Rose Lee, a woman who created and recreated her own identity
to fit changing times. Placing the famed stripper's life in a
refreshing new light, Frankel reveals that though Lee was not above
using her femininity to full advantage, she aspired to much more
than admiration for her physical beauty. Indeed, those who know Lee
only from the beloved musical and film Gypsy!-which celebrates her
unconventional rise to stardom-will be surprised to discover a
woman who was not only a sex object, but also a best-selling
writer, artist, political activist, and union leader. In addition
to her highly successful strip-tease act and film career, Lee
published two popular mystery novels and a memoir, wrote two plays,
showed her original artwork in famed Modern Art-impresario Peggy
Guggenheim's gallery, and gained notoriety for her participation in
liberal politics.
