(Forbes article author is a FORMER STRIPPER)
Elisabeth Eaves’ first book Bare
The Naked Truth About Stripping was called “a first-rate, first-person work of social anthropology” by the Washington Post and “an utterly engrossing, accessible, and informative study” by Booklist.
In its unstinting honesty, Bare demands that we take a closer look at the way sexuality is viewed in our culture: what, if anything, constitutes “normal” desire; the ethics of swapping money – or anything else – for sex; and how women and men navigate the perilous contradictions and double standards that make up today’s socio-sexual conversation.
Originally published in hardcover by Knopf, Bare is now available in paperback from Seal Press.
(notice her indocrination at our communist universties, with “International Studies”.)
