This work studies frauds and swindles perpetrated by women during that era, and offers character studies of several key female swindlers including Ann O'Delia Diss Debar, Mabel Parker, and Sarah Casselman, among others. Frauds covered include spiritually-based crimes (i.e. deceptive seances, \"spirit writing\") and love crimes (i.e. matrimonial racketeering), as well as \"sob story\" panhandling, counterfeiting, faking wealth, and pension fraud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kerry Segrave\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.91h x 6.35w x 0.57d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786430390","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45090323595401,"sku":"9780786430390","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_cdaefc5d-52c5-400a-ba41-49336b4b6d59.jpg?v=1766478428","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/women-swindlers-in-america-1860-1920-9780786430390","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
