From the back cover: "Marauders like Jesse James and the Younger gang earned Missouri the title of 'Outlaw State,' but the male desperadoes had nothing on their femaile counterparts. Bell 'Queen of the Bandits' Starr and Cora Hubbard kept Missouri's sensationalist newspapers and dime novelists in business with exploits ranging from horse thefts to bank heists. Missouri native Ma Barker and her murderous sons rose to infamy during the gangster era of the 1930s while Bonnie Parker crisscrossed the state with Clyde Barrow. From savvy burlesque dancers to deadly gold diggers, historian Larry Wood chronicles the titillating stories of ten of the Show Me State's shadiest ladies."

From Introduction: "This book contains both humorous and serious quotes on men, boys, guys and husbands. Women have always been eager to express their views about the opposite sex, and their attitudes about men transcend time and place, economic station, and nationality. Women's comments about men are witty and irreverent, bawdy and discreet, loving and disdainful, but never - well hardly ever - passionless or distant. This book contains a full range of women's opinions on the opposite sex. Prepare to laugh, cry, fume - and get involved! Good condition. No dust jacket. First Edition. Hardback. Some rubbing/bumping and edge/corner wear to cover. Pages are Clean and tight. Please see photos. 63 pages including Index.
