Presents a cultural history of the African American women who performed in variety shows - chorus lines, burlesque revues, cabaret acts, and the like - between 1890 and 1945. This book describes the strange phenomenon of blackface performances by women, both black and white, and considers how black expressive artists navigated racial segregation.
