A brief academic but tongue-in-cheek look at covering women's bodies in the arts.
​From raids & arrests, interviews with living burlesque legends, to current common blue laws & including FOSTA/SESTA effecting artists online.
Historians and literature often discuss the struggles of fashionably brave women, showgirls, & sex workers with glazed over eyes and hushed voices, easily digested and forgotten. If it's too scandalous it is giggled at then rushed over quickly. But never has it actually included sex workers voices.
It's time to diversify the narrative.
