About this listen

Chicago May: Her Story by May Churchill Sharpe is the autobiographical account of a notorious female criminal from Ireland who became a prominent figure in the American underworld in the early 1900s. Fleeing a troubled home, May arrived in the U.S. as a teenager and quickly immersed herself in crime, including pickpocketing, prostitution, and robbery. Her memoir reveals a life of deception, passion, betrayal, and survival in a male-dominated world. Candid and unapologetic, May reflects on her choices and the tumultuous path that led her to infamy, offering a rare glimpse into a woman’s life of crime.
