Bonnie Parker
We doubt there is one person that has not heard about the infamous duo Bonnie and Clyde. After all, they have become a pop culture phenomenon, and their story has been immortalized a lot in all types of media, from TV shows and movies to songs and books based on their stories. The duo has a fascinating story, but who was Bonnie Parker outside of her lover?
The smart woman was one of the rulers of the Barrow Gang, which activated back in the 1930s and terrorized all of America with their organized bank robberies and various shootouts with law enforcement. She became one of the central figures of the gang. Not only did her wrongdoings bring about her fame, alongside various murders and organized heists, but so did a photoshoot they agreed to have near the gangsters’ Missouri hideout.
We doubt any of them would have thought this is how they would go down in history or that they would be a part of it at all. But Bonnie showed everyone that not only men were prolific gangsters in that period of time!

I love stories like this
Thank you for this fascinating article about female mafia heads from gangster history. I found it interesting when you mentioned that there are numerous female mafia heads who ran successful crime empires. This read compels me to learn more, so I’ll definitely find a mafia historical site in my area to satisfy my curiosity.
You forgot to include Hillary Clinton
Interesting that they went into the 1990s, and yet failed to mention Hillary Clinton… She had a daughter by a family friend in retaliation for her husband’s multiple infidelities… Everyone that opposed her “committed suicide”, one by stabbing himself in the back 12 times in a public park… And, of course Ron Brown who was about to destroy her Golden Goose, by reporting to Newt Gingrich, when he returns to Washington after giving our Nuclear Missile Guidance System Blueprints to China, in thanks for reElection funds… He died in a plane crash on the way back, in which, as they reported “Everyone died”, but in truth there was only 1 body at the crash site, Ron Brown, with a bullet in the back of his head… The Investigator of the site was moved to a different department, when the cover story made news… 2 years later, she, the Investigator, managed to steal the sealed file and open it live on CNN showing pictures of her and her Assistant at the crashsite, as well as Ron Brown and the bullet hole, for 10 minutes, then it disappeared… The Clintons were still in the Whitehouse…
I don’t know if you would consider Patty Cannon of Sussex County De a gangster but she was a illegal slave trader a serial killer and the co-leader of the Cannon-Johnson gang of Md and De.
