The Big Book of Legs

From the Tip of the Toes to the Top of the Hose Running the gamut of gorgeous gams The third in Dian Hanson’s wildly successful series on erotic body parts explores how the female leg became central to women’s emancipation, from the French Revolution to the sexual revolution. Over 400 photos document the first burlesque shows of the 1800s, the nylon-mania of the ’40s, and the golden age of leg magazines in the ’60s.
