	Sophie Tucker
		("Yes, it was Sophie Tucker and not Marlene Dietrich who introduced pants in the U.S.A. They got me into the headlines and the newsreels and were good for laughs any place.") When vaudeville started losing ground to radio and film in the late 1920s, she packed for Hollywood and made eight films.
		Sophie denounced marriage, even monogamy, but focussed not so much on men's weaknesses (again unlike Mae West, who only inverted the "men's" game, where one chases other, where one is in control) but inequality in relationships.
		Though Sophie never actually said, "my sexuality was going to be packaged for me so I did it myself," this is exactly what she did.
