INFAMOUS WOMEN OF HISTORY SERIES

The Infamous Women of History Series reveals the truth behind these unconventional, often criminal females who caused so much trouble that they couldn’t be ignored. Strong and rebellious–or troubled and misunderstood–these bad girls have become part of our popular culture until we prefer the mythology surrounding their exploits to the reality of the lives. This series explores the mythmaking behind female criminals and women who wouldn’t play by the rules, showing how they’ve been portrayed in film and why we can’t get enough of them. From queens to spies, gangsters to spinsters; the woman in this series might not have been good citizens, but they were so bad they were too good to forget
