Living in a time when it was scandalous even to show a bit of ankle, a small number of courageous women covered their bodies in tattoos and travelled the country, performing virtually nude on carnival stages. This book uncovers the true stories behind these women, bringing them out of the sideshow realm and into their working class realities.
