by Karen Redrobe (Author)
With the help of mirrors, trap doors, elevators, photographs, and film, women vanish and return in increasingly spectacular ways throughout the centuries. The author tracks the proliferation of this figure, the vanishing woman, from her genesis in Victorian stage magic through her development in conjunction with photography and film.
