FULL TEXT (Article 2 of 2): There have been women who, disguised in male attire, have served as soldiers and sailors, but a girl brigand is probably unique in the annals of feminine enterprise.
The home of this femalebandit was Roumania, and she made no attempt to disguise her sex. She is described as having been a perfect rider, an excellent shot, of considerable beauty, and utterly fearless and unscrupulous.
She was the leader of a company of brigands whom she accompanied on all their expeditions. Houses were at tacked at night, sacked and pillaged, and the inhabitants murdered if they showed fight.
Before her career came to an inglorious end, she was credited with eighty-six murders and hundreds of crimes of violence and theft.
