THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS IS TOPS in publishing lurid crime photos, and its
photo essay on gangster molls does not break with that tradition. This group of 24 vintage shots betray fierce

For the most part, these women were gun carriers, holdup lookouts and general crime accomplices who refused to rat, and many of them paid a price for their actions. You'll have to click through the one-photo pages; online publications do that to increase their page views, and as annoying as that can be, this is one of those rare photo essays that is worth the time to browse.
