Synopsis
A thoroughly entertaining and darkly humorous roundup of history's notorious but often forgotten female con artists and their bold, outrageous scams-by the acclaimed author of Lady Killers. From Elizabeth Holmes and Anna Delvey to Frank Abagnale and Charles Ponzi, audacious scams and charismatic scammers continue to intrigue us as a culture. As Tori Telfer reveals in Confident Women, the art of the con has a long and venerable tradition, and its female practitioners are some of the best-or worst. In the 1700s in Paris, Jeanne de Saint-Rémy scammed the royal jewelers out of a necklace made from six hundred and forty-seven diamonds by pretending she was best friends with Queen Marie Antoinette. In the mid-1800s, sisters Kate and Maggie Fox began pretending they could speak to spirits and accidentally started a religious movement that was soon crawling with female con artists. A gal calling herself Loreta Janeta Velasquez claimed to be a soldier and convinced people she worked for the Confederacy-or the Union, depending on who she was talking to. Meanwhile, Cassie Chadwick was forging paperwork and getting banks to loan her upwards of $40,000 by telling people she was Andrew Carnegie's illegitimate daughter. In the 1900s, a 40something woman named Margaret Lydia Burton embezzled money all over the country and stole upwards of forty prized show dogs, while a few decades later, a teenager named Roxie Ann Rice scammed the entire NFL. And since the death of the Romanovs, women claiming to be Anastasia have been selling their stories to magazines. What about today Spoiler alert: these "artists" are still conning. Confident Women asks the provocative question: Where does chutzpah intersect with a uniquely female pathology-and how were these notorious women able to so spectacularly dupe and swindle their victims, A thoroughly entertaining and darkly humorous roundup of history's notorious but often forgotten female con artists and their bold, outrageous scams--by the acclaimed author of Lady Killers .

Confident Women asks the provocative question: Where does chutzpah intersect with a uniquely female pathology--and how were these notorious women able to so spectacularly dupe and swindle their victims?, A Collection of Diabolically Clever Con Women Who Have Made (US) their Mark, From Elizabeth Holmes and Anna Delvey to Frank Abagnale and Charles Ponzi, the history of confidence artists is long, venerable, and wildly compelling. And as Tori Telfer reveals, its female practitioners are some of the best-or worst-in the business. Here, Telfer introduces a host of lady swindlers-some notorious, others forgotten-whose scams ranged from the outrageous to the deadly and every shade of grift in between. In 1700s Paris, Jeanne de Saint-Rémy tricked the royal jewelers out of a necklace made from six hundred and forty-seven diamonds by pretending she was best friends with Queen Marie Antoinette. During the Civil War, Lauretta Williams, aka Loreta Janeta Velasquez, claimed to be a Cuban American soldier and convinced people she worked for the Confederacy-or the Union-depending on whom she was talking to. In the Early 1900s, Cassie Chadwick persuaded banks to lend her hundreds of thousands of dollars by saying she was Andrew Carnegie's illegitimate daughter-and, men said, by using her hypnotic eyes. In the 1970s, a teenager named Roxie Ann Rice scammed the entire NFL by telling a very strange story. And today? From Beijing to Fort Lauderdale, their scams continue....
