the anti-heroine of an era of bathtub gin, organized crime, and jazz, clouded in the smoke of fired guns and cigarettes.
Despite her appearance of fearless indomitably, she craves acceptance and understanding.
Nobody is a more loyal friend once she finds that you accept her funny ways and “odd” streaks.
Nobody can be a more faithful ally than she once she believes you have done you best to understand her.

— Judith Bennett, Sex Signs
