Soul Stripping, Autobiography of a Go-Go Dancer

Meer over het boek

A powerless woman in all the wrong places ends up, because of this story, in becoming one of the most talked about and popular 'foreigners' in Switzerland. It is her very personal story of finding courage and her painful but rewarding search for an identity and self-esteem. Paula Charles arrived in Switzerland with the wrong credentials, the wrong language, education, background and color. She came to work in what she had thought would be a decent job as a hostess but got trapped in the seedy underworld, working as a go-go dancer. First published in German translation under the title Go Josephine Go, her book became a sensation because of what it revealed about the laws and treatment of third-world women. Her story has made a difference, cha nged laws and attitudes. Soul Stripping is her original story told in her own personal and sincere way. It has gained her the respect of many women and men in all walks of life.
