the original bad girls' club: celebrating history's sometimes notorious, often scandalous, always memorable ladies who I always want at my table in a poker game, in my corner in a knife fight.

Etta Place (if that's your real name), b. 1878.
Top Five Reasons She's the "Queen of the Outlaws":
1. Quit teaching to work in a brothel. Left the brothel to join Butch Cassidy and "The Wild Bunch." The lady knew how to climb a ladder.
2. Married "The Sundance Kid." Everybody knows the best bad boys are on wanted posters.
3. More elusive than the snow leopard, she was only captured in photographs twice. Would love to see her dodge the Paparazzi.
4. Fled to South America with her outlaw friends, where she avoided capture and arrest. Pulled a Keyser Soze and vanished from all public record in 1909.
5. To this day, baffles history buffs with her numerous aliases and dopplegangers. Did she return to teaching? Go back to the brothel? Assume a new life as a cattle rustler? She always knew how to leave 'em wanting more.
