Mary Frith: Moll Cutpurse
While the entire crowd enjoyed Tom Falconer’s performance on the stage, little did they know they were being robbed. The famous ‘Moll Cutpurse,’ often dressed as a man aliased Tom Falconer, was a lady to be feared back in the 16th century.
As a woman of many talents, she could’ve done well in many things, but the world of crime seemed more appealing to her. Even featured in one of Shakespeare’s plays, Frith was one of those notorious women you don’t want to mess with.
