Women You Thought You Knew: A Trilogy

Finally, so-called bad girls have their say in these three tales of three women. In “The Grinder,” a stripper past her prime finds it hard to dance her way off the strip club runway due to feelings of abandonment by her parents. In “Silk Stockings and the Bible,” a “church lady” and former swing-era chorus girl reminisces about her spicy past. In “Wild Child,” a Chinese-American party girl of the disco era (who is the “black sheep” of her image-conscious family) befriends a disturbed Vietnam veteran and discovers her Afro-Chinese relative.

Note: This trilogy runs during March in homage to Women’s History Month and SWAN Day.
