Friedman, Andrea (Washington University in St. Louis)
Exploring motion pictures, burlesque, and Broadway theater-three forms of entertainment that were regularly condemned by anti-obscenity activists in the early 1900s-Friedman shows how the struggle to define and regulate obscenity played out in New York before it was codified nationally by the U. S. Supreme Court.
