Whenever stripper Gypsy Rose Lee encountered public criticism, she spoke frankly in her own defense. This biography examines the struggles Lee faced in making a lucrative and unconventional career for herself while maintaining a sense of dignity and social value."In this new biography of Gypsy Rose Lee, Noralee Frankel draws on archival sources to strip bare the myths created by Gypsy herself and to tell the real story. Although Lee published an autobiography that has sold steadily, this will be the first biography of her. Frankel combines politics with twentieth century popular culture"--Provided by publisher.
