Synopsis :

This long-lost autobiography of a woman who lived life with no regrets from the 1880s to the 1960s offers a rare look into the colourful criminal underworld from New York to San Francisco and every whorehouse, tavern, and mining camp in between. Dirty Helen, with the self-assurance of a defrocked debutante, takes you through her life and adventures. Demure, sweet, and wild teenage Helen flees from small-town Indiana to Cincinnati with her first of six husbands. She soon realises that the traditional role of wife and mother isn't for her. She meets cunning millionaires, bank robbers, detectives, and gangsters as she hustles her way through life. Her friends were everyone else's enemies - Al Capone, Big Jim Colosimo, and Johnny Torrio all spend time with Helen as she bounces from adventure to adventure. Its the true-life story of a woman who never said 'no' and carved out an independent life that transgressed every societal boundary. Her life is a rarely seen look into the reality of a working-class woman who chose sex-work as a path to the good life.

À propos de l?auteur: Helen Cromwell-known far and wide throughout the Country as "Dirty Helen" because of her loquacious use of every foul word conceived.

Born in the 1880's, teenage Helen fled small-town Indiana with the first of her SIX husbands. Helen traveled the country moving from whorehouse to sugar daddy to tavernkeeper, all while staying true to herself. Helen lived a complicated, modern life in an un-modern time. She is the original complicated woman.
