Casino Women: Courage in Unexpected Places

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

SUSAN CHANDLER AND JILL B. JONES

FROM the cover: : Casino Women Is A Pioneering Look At The Female Face Of Corporate Gaming. Based on extended interviews with maids, cocktail waitresses, cooks, laundry workers, dealers, pit bosses, managers, and vice presidents, the book describes in compelling detail a world whose enormous profitability is dependent on the labor of women assigned stereotypically female occupations-making beds and serving food on the one hand and providing sexual allure on the other. But behind the neon lies another world, peopled by thousands of remarkable women who assert their humanity in the face of gaming empires' relentless quest for profits.”
