| Sommario/riassunto: | "Sometimes humorous, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, sometimes deeply sad and moving--such are the biographies of fifteen Texas bad girls. Husband killers, run-of-the-mill murderers, whorehouse madams, prostitutes, gamblers, bank robbers, floozies--each contributes immeasurably to a rowdy, ribald history that dates from the state's earliest settlers to yesterday's biggest news story"--Provided by publisher. |
