Confident Women: Swindlers, Grifters, & Shapeshifters of the Feminine Persuasion" (ISBN: 9780062956033): "Confident Women: Swindlers, Grifters, & Shapeshifters of the Feminine Persuasion" by Tori Telfer is a captivating exploration of the lives and exploits of some of history's most audacious and cunning female criminals.

The book introduces readers to a diverse cast of characters, from the notorious Belle Gunness, who lured victims through personal ads, to the enigmatic Mary Carleton, who assumed multiple identities to perpetrate her schemes. With meticulous research and engaging prose, Telfer brings these complex women to life and examines the societal factors that shaped their choices. "Confident Women" is a thought-provoking exploration of gender, crime, and the blurred boundaries of identity. Crisp, clean, unread book with some shelfwear/edgewear.
