Gangster Women and Their Criminal World

More about the book

"J. Edgar Hoover once described "gun molls", as the Press called them, as more dangerous to society than the gangsters with whom they ran. Gangster Women is a fascinating study of the women who fell for gangsters throughout the 1930s and beyond and why they gave up a normal life to aid and abet their criminal lovers. Was it for a world of ill-gotten gains, for the glamor, the excitement, or for love itself ?''--Page 4 de la couverture
