With insight and empathy, Susan Dewey shows how these women negotiate their lives as parents, employees, and family members while working in a profession widely regarded as incompatible with motherhood and fidelity. Neither disparaging nor romanticizing her subjects, Dewey investigates the complicated dynamic of performance, resilience, economic need, and emotional vulnerability that comprises the life of a stripper. An accessibly written text that uses academic theories and methods to make sense of feminized labor, Neon Wasteland shows that sex work is part of the learned process by which some women come to believe that their self-esteem, material worth, and possibilities for life improvement are invested in their bodies. 606 $aSex industry$xSocial aspects$zNortheastern States$vCase studies 606 $aWomen dancers$xSocial conditions$zNortheastern states$vCase studies 606 $aWomen$xFamily relationships$zNortheastern States$vCase studies 606 $aWomen$zNortheastern States$vCase studies 606 $aSelf-perception in women$zNortheastern States$vCase studies 606 $aFemininity$vCase studies 607 $aNortheastern States$xSocial conditions 607 $aNortheastern States$xEconomic conditions 610 $aabuse. 610 $aadultery. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $acultural studies. 610 $aeconomic justice. 610 $aexotic dancers. 610 $aexotic dancing. 610 $afemininity. 610 $afeminism. 610 $afeminized labor. 610 $afidelity. 610 $agender studies. 610 $agender. 610 $agws. 610 $amotherhood. 610 $aneeds. 610 $anew york. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aperformance. 610 $apoverty. 610 $aresilience. 610 $arust belt. 610 $aself esteem. 610 $asex work. 610 $asex workers. 610 $asexual objectification. 610 $asexuality. 610 $asocial commentary. 610 $asocial science. 610 $asocial systems. 610 $astrippers. 610 $atopless dancers. 610 $avulnerability. 610 $awomen. 610 $awomens issues. 610 $awomens studies. 610 $awomens work. 615 0$aSex industry$xSocial aspects 615 0$aWomen dancers$xSocial conditions 615 0$aWomen$xFamily relationships 615 0$aWomen 615 0$aSelf-perception in women 615 0$aFemininity 676 $a155.3/33 700 $aDewey$b Susan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0781871 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785593503321 996 $aNeon Wasteland$93690511 997 $aUNINA
