Thread Name: Molly Dancing
Subject: RE: Molly Dancing
There is a Morris Federation book on Molly by Tony Foster published in 2002 ISBN No 0 948383 13 5 that gives a history of Molly and recollections combined with the dances.
It is worth noting that blackened faces is as good disguise and that Molly Houses existed in London in the 1700,s where men went to dress up as women, have sex, drink and dance.
