Drawing on media reports, interviews and court records, this book recounts the stories of women bank robbers in the United States, 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.

All-new collection of magical stories from slapstick comedy to Gothic horror.

According to fashion expert Kathryn Eisman, to understand a woman, first understand her purse. In How to Tell a Woman by Her Handbag, Eisman cleverly contends that fashions come and go, but a woman's handbag is eternal, forever revealing her nature--and just maybe her secrets. With forensic precision and cutting wit, Eisman helps women identify their own handbag personas as well as those of family, friends, and foes. Thanks to How to Tell a Woman by Her Handbag, the next time you rub shoulders with Canvas Tote Lady or Decrepit Briefcase Lady or even Bamboo Cane Handle Lady, you'll be able to discern just what makes her tick. But you'll also recognize the bond common to women the world over--we're all bag ladies!

From compacts to wallets, passports to planners, and cell phones to sunglasses, mommy, grandma, auntie, and sister's pocketbooks have to carry it all. Featuring a snap closure and a portable handle, this novelty book collects five purses in one and allows young readers to lift the flaps and peek inside to find the tote-ally terrific treasures each woman carries—it's the perfect accessory for budding fashionistas!
