You guys voted, and "Battle" Annie Walsh won. She was one of the more notorious female gang leaders who was active in Hell’s Kitchen, New York in the late 1800s.  I couldn’t find too much about her early life. In fact, a lot of the information that I was able to find was more related to the gang that she was a part of then Annie herself. So we’re going to do a little trip down history lane and see what, exactly, this gang she was a part of was up to in the late 1800s. MERCH: frumiousreads.com/shop SOCIAL MEDIA: @frumiousreads

Follow me on social media: @frumiousreads Happy Quarantine everyone. Like many others during this time I've gotten sucked into the world of the Tiger King. I think that one of the zoo workers named Reinke had the best summarization of the whole series, “Lots of drama in the zoo world.”  But, it did give me some inspiration for this week’s episode. So, let’s take a break from the Tiger King for a minute, and talk about the Tiger Lady, Clara Phillips. Why is she known as the Tiger Lady?  Well, for the brutality in which she killed her husband’s mistress.

Marie, also known as “Maria” according to some accounts, was born Marie La Roux in Switzerland, 1821. Her parents died sometime around the 1840s, and she emigrated to Britain to work as a servant. She began her work as a maid for Lady Anna Palk of the Haldon House in Devon, which was a gigantic country estate that was mostly demolished later on in the 1920s. After some time working there, she then began working as a lady’s maid for a woman known as Lady Blantyre. Lady Blantyre was the daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, and was extremely wealthy. Queen Victoria was known to make stops at the house, and Marie was able to enjoy a life of luxury and status that was enormously higher than a majority of other woman at the time.    It was on a trip that she was taking with the Lady Blantyre that she met Patrick O’Connor-the man who would be both her lover….and her victim.

This week, I’m talking about Judy Moran, the matriarch of the Moran crime family in Australia. That’s right, we’re talking about the mafia, and if I disappear after this episode then it’s been a pleasure talking murder with you all. Hopefully my possible death would be covered by Karen and Georgia on MFM. That is my final wish so, y’all, make it happen
