Black Fury sighting
Sep. 30th, 2010 06:38 pmThis needs to surface in someone's game.
"Jeanne Bonnet, a cross-dresser known as the Little Frog Catcher, grew up in San Francisco as a tomboy and in the 1870s, in her early 20s, was arrested dozens of times for wearing male attire. She visited local brothels as a male customer, and eventually organized French prostitutes in San Francisco into an all-woman gang whose members swore off prostitution, had nothing to do with men, and supported themselves by shoplifting. She traveled with her lover, Blanche Buneau, whom the newspapers described as "strangely and powerfully attached" to Jeanne. In 1876, Bonnet was found dead with a bullet in her heart. Police suspected that Bonnet has been killed by the pimps whose girls she has taken. [sic]"
