# Stripping Gypsy: The Life of Gypsy Rose Lee

Most people's knowledge of the entertainer Gypsy Rose Lee was gained through the stage musical and film of her extraordinary life. In Noralee Frankel's biography "Stripping Gypsy: The Life of Gypsy Rose Lee" (Oxford University Press, 2009), the author reveals another side of this complex and enigmatic figure. Frankel's lively biography, the first ever published about the highly mythologized Lee, examines the struggles she faced in making a lucrative and unconventional career for herself while maintaining a sense of dignity and social value.
