169. The Mystery of Little Egypt

When the 1893 World's Fair hit Chicago, the city was aghast and
excited by the dance du ventre that shimmied through the Streets
of Cairo procession at the Great Columbian Exhibition. People
clambered to see the woman who brought the belly dance to
America, a performer that went by the name Little Egypt, but who
was she and how did she influence American Burlesque for years to
come..?
