Revelations Essays on Striptease and Sexuality Dragu, Margaret, and Harrison, A.S.A. Publisher:  Nightwood Editions, London, United Kingdom Year Published:  1988   Pages:  176pp   Price:  $15.95   ISBN:  0-88971-117-8 Resource Type:  Book Abstract:  According to Revelations, "from a historical perspective, strippers can be seen as women who are in active revolt against the dictate that their sexuality is shameful." "Strippers and other sexual entertainers undertake the job of pushing on our sexual limits in one way or another -- by testing them, defying them, or even just exposing them." Revelations rejects the view that sexuality is dirty and should be hidden. It argues that "the problem with sex shows is not that they are sexual, but that they so often cheapen or belittle sexuality." The authors look forward to a day when sexual entertainment evolves and improves, becoming more meaningful for both men and women. They say that "sexual repression in general, and particularly the repression of women's sexuality, is at the base of our sexual distress as a society." "Real equality for women can only come with the acceptance of women's sexuality, and the release of all taboos associated with it."
