Many of us are familiar with the popular slogan 'Well-behaved women seldom make history'. But that adage is taken to the next level in this book, which looks at women from the past who weren't afraid to break the law or challenge gender norms. From pirates to madams, gamblers to bootleggers, and serial killers to outlaws, women throughout the ages haven't always decided to be sugar, spice, and everything nice. In 'Lawbreaking Ladies', author Erika Owen tells the stories of 50 remarkable women whose rebellious and often criminal acts ought to solidify their place in history.
