Turns out, they kinda ruled the roost in a few cases. So tune in to find out about London's all-female gang, the Forty Elephants, and Australia's very own female-led rival razor gangs from Sydney. Plus, just because, a noble woman who turned to Piracy and flipped the French aristocracy on its head in the 14th century.
