While one might think that violent crimes are "man-heavy", there are plenty of women who have turned against the law; the murderous, bank-robbing pair, Bonnie and Clyde being one of the more famous examples. But back in the 1950's and 1960's there were enough women committing capital crimes to have their "exploits" covered in their own magazine.
For several decades, WOMEN IN CRIME shared a spot among the multitude of true crime publications that crowded the newsstands. This issue from April 1957 by Skye Publishing Co. comes with the qualifier on the cover, "Actual Police Cases", and contains stories with titles like, "Lady on the Back Street", "Nice Girls Don't Kill", "Meet Miss Wildcat", well -- you get the idea.
