Lovely Legs: From the tip of the toes to the top of the hose. The third in Dian Hanson's wildly successful series on erotic body parts explores how the female leg became central to women's emacipation, from the French Revolution to the sexual revolution. Over 400 photos document the first burlesque shows of the 1800's, the silk-stockinged flappers of the 20's, the nylon-mania of the 40's, the dawn of the stiletto in the 50's, and the golden age of leg magazines in the 60's. Who wore the first high heels, how did nylons become a weapon of war, why were Betty Grable's the million dollar legs, where did Elmer Batters get his start, and just what is the deal with feet? The answers are all here, along with vintage photos by Irving Klaw, Peter Gowland, Bunny Yeager, Batters, and other great masters of leg art.
