Put the Money in My Purse!: A History of Female Bank Robbers

Drawing on media reports, interviews and court records, award-winning true crime author and criminologist Judith A. Yates recounts the stories of women bank robbers in the U.S., from the time of the Revolutionary War to the present. Ranging from sensational to poignant to comical, the heists of frontier outlaws, gun molls, insurrectionists, housewives, grandmas and young mothers literally robbing for Pampers are narrated as part of the social history of women in America.
