520      $a"The categories of 'whore' and "'ctress' have
         overlapped over centuries. Actresses are assumed to be
         sexually available and promiscuous, and prostitutes are
         assumed to perform for their clients. Employing historical
         biographies as well as interviews with contemporary sex
         workers, this book compares actresses and prostitutes from
         Nell Gwynne to Mae West. Ranging from the seventeenth
         century to the present, Kirsten Pullen offers many new
         insights to theater historians and scholars of cultural,
         social and gender studies."--Publisher's description.
