As a woman whose brand of feminism is suspect, Lesa Lockford places herself in the most shameful, the most abject circumstances: an image obsessed weight-watcher, an exotic dancer, and a theatrical performer. This experimental autoethnography provides a model to the ethnographer and rewards the student of gender studies with a rare perspective.
