{"product_id":"sisters-of-salome-toni-bentley-9780803262416","title":"Sisters of Salome","description":"The origins of the art of exotic dancing lie in English drama and Viennese opera: Oscar Wilde's 1893 play \u003ci\u003eSalome\u003c\/i\u003e, and Richard Strauss's 1905 opera based on it, brought onto the stage a female character who captured and dominated the audience with the raw power of her naked body. Her Dance of the Seven Veils shocked and fascinated, and Salome became a pop icon on both sides of the Atlantic. Toni Bentley explores how four influential women embraced the persona of the femme fatale and transformed the misogynist image of a dangerously sexual woman into a form of personal liberation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Toni Bentley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0803262418\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780803262416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bison Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 226\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 6.22w x 0.49d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/12\/2005 pg. 36","brand":"Toni Bentley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992446435583,"sku":"9780803262416","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84555abc-cf38-409f-ac78-cd8a229fc50d.jpg?v=1683318998","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sisters-of-salome-toni-bentley-9780803262416","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
