"America in the Roaring Twenties. Vaudeville was king. Speakeasies beckoned; money flowed fast and free. But then the Great Depression leveled everything. When the dust settled, Americans were primed for a star who could distract them from grim reality and excite them in new, unexpected ways. Enter gypsy Rose Lee, a strutting, bawdy, erudite stripper who possessed a preternatural gift for delivering exactly what America needed."--Container.
