The Lusty Lady is a 1997 photobook by photographer Erika Langley, published by Scalo. The book documents the Seattle branch of the women-run Lusty Lady peep-show club through Langley’s perspective after spending five years working there as a dancer to gain access and build trust with her subjects.

Combining candid black-and-white photography with written reflections from several dancers, the project explores the everyday realities of women working within the sex industry. Rather than presenting a sensationalised view, Langley focuses on the personal experiences, working environment, and individual perspectives of the dancers, highlighting the complexity and diversity of their lives both inside and outside the club.

Widely recognised as a documentary photography project, The Lusty Lady is noted for its empathetic and human-centred approach to a subject often reduced to stereotype or stigma.
