From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elisabeth Eaves (born 1971) is a Canadian author and journalist. She is a frequent contributor to Slate magazine and currently works for Forbes magazine as a staff writer.
Born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Eaves received a B.A. in international studies from the University of Washington and a Masters in International Affairs from Columbia University.
Eaves is author of Bare: On Women, Dancing, Sex, and Power (2002), a non-fiction book about stripping. She worked as a stripper in the Lusty Lady peep show in Seattle, an establishment that had considered (and ultimately rejected) unionization for its workers. On November 10, 2005, Eaves appeared on "The O’Reilly Factor" to talk about a case in which American Express was suing a 40-year-old businessman from Missouri for failing to pay a $241,000 bill that he had ran up at a strip club in New York City in one night.
Eaves is currently working on a "novel whose two dominant themes are national identity and globalization."
