Confident Women: Swindlers, Grifters, and Shapeshifters of the Feminine Persuasion by Tori Telfer
4.0
This was really compelling. Tori Telfer's writing is incredibly readable and entertaining and I think she approached these women's stories with nuance.
Some of these women were truly evil - enslaving immigrant girls and homeless people, murder, making people so miserable and hopeless they were driven to suicide - and Telfer painted clear pictures of their upbringing, their crimes, their motivations, and also the impacts on their victims.
Overall quite an interesting read. Definitely adding her other book to my TBR.
