About this listen
This week our story is set in Gilded Age New York City. the Rising center of wealth and crime during an era with one of the worst examples of wealth inequality until maybe now? Huge amounts of money made from industrialization and the consolidation of industries by America's robber barons.
And the Subject of this series is a woman named Frederika Mandelbaum aka Marm Mandelbaum. She became one of NYC first and most infamous crime bosses and ruled over the theft and sale of stolen luxury goods for over 20 years from the 1860’s to her downfall in 1884.
I'm really excited about this series. It is a little off the beaten path for us but it is really fun full of hijinx and heists and we hope you enjoy!
