Thrilling, sensual, nostalgia provoking story of gunner girls of Chicago of early 20th century that was eventually turned into a Broadway play and a movie called Chicago. Story of Belva Gaertner, Buelah Annan and Wanda Stopa the three of the beautiful gun girls of my hometown Chicago from 1920s who were never convicted of the crimes they committed because of the well during that time you couldn't be convicted if you are beautiful and it was all male jury. The story of these three murderess covered by Maurine Watkins one of the few female crime reporters sheds lights on the social and political times in Chicago during early part of the 20th century. If you are from Chicago or feeling nostalgia pick up this book and enjoy the times of jazz, bootleggers, gangs and of course Chicago's gun girls.
