Burlesque's beginnings blossomed out of La Belle Époque, the interwar period between the Franco-Prussian war and WW1. An era where creativity and the arts boomed and the Burlesque show was born and it created stars, women like Liane de Pougy, a star, a desired courtesan, a princess and a nun.

| 0:14.0 | With me, your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlet and Reader of Books. And my oh my, delicious friends, |
| 0:21.3 | while we be leaning into the History Harlot this month? |
