520 When graduate student Jenny Worley needed a fast way to
earn more money, she found herself at the door of the
Lusty Lady Theater in San Francisco, auditioning on a
stage surrounded by mirrors, in platform heels, and not
much else. So began Jenny's career as a stripper strutting
the peepshow stage as her alter-ego "Polly" alongside
women called Octopussy and Amnesia. But this wasn't your
run-of-the-mill strip club--it was a peepshow populated by
free-thinking women who talked feminist theory and swapped
radical zines like lipstick. As management's
discriminatory practices and the rise of hidden cameras
stir up tension among the dancers, Jenny rallies them to
demand change. Together, they organize the first
strippers' union in the world and risk it all to take over
the club and run it as a co-operative. Refusing to be
treated as sex objects or disposable labor, they become
instead the rulers of their kingdom. Jenny's elation over
the Lusty Lady's revolution is tempered by her evolving
understanding of the toll dancing has taken on her. When
she finally hangs up her heels for good to finish her
Ph.D., neither Jenny nor San Francisco are the same--but
she and the cadre of wild, beautiful, brave women who run
the Lusty Lady come out on top despite it all. A first-
hand account as only an insider could tell it, Neon Girls
paints a vivid picture of a bygone San Francisco and a
fiercely feminist world within the sex industry, asking
sharp questions about what keeps women from fighting for
their rights, who benefits from capitalizing on desire,
and how we can change entrenched systems of power
