- Synopsis
- 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 world, performing nearly nude on carnival stages. These gutsy women spun amazing stories for captive audiences about abductions and forced tattooing at the hands of savages, but little has been shared of their real lives. The first book of its kind, The Tattooed Lady uncovers the true stories behind these women, bringing them out of the sideshow realm and into their working class realities. Thoroughly fascinating.
