When you hear the term “militant bisexual woman,” a certain image may come to mind. That image is probably not that of a 17th century female “highwayman” who ran a gang of cutthroat thieves, swaggered through London streets in male drag and lived unrepentantly to the age of 75.
Born instantly rebellious, Mary Frith was indulged by middle-class parents. She grew up “very tomrig and rumpscuttle” and became an exceptional horsewoman and fine shot. But Daddy Frith eventually thought to guide his rebel girl into womanly ways.
Endure a proscribed and deadly sedentary life sewing samplers? According to The Newgate Calendar—a series of 18th- and 19th-century criminal biographies named for Newgate prison in London, “[H]er needle, bodkin and thimble she could not think quietly, wishing them changed into sword and dagger for a bout at cudgels.”
Despairing, her father sought to pack her off to the colonies (i.e. America) dressed as a man for a life of indentured servitude. Placed on a Boston-bound merchant ship, the 14-year-old managed to jump overboard and swim ashore to fulfill her criminal destiny.
Early on, Mary excelled at cutting the “purse” worn at the waist by Elizabethan and Jacobean men. She graduated to running a gang of cut-purses and and finally robbing carriages with aplomb. And she warmly received the name “Moll,” which denoted a woman of scandalous reputation.
Tall, with piercing blue eyes and dark, curly locks, she took to wearing elegant men’s clothes, with richly appointed doublets and always topped with a black cape, tricorn hat and a fine pipe. In fact, she is said to be the first woman to smoke tobacco in England.
Moll spoke with the stentorian tones of a general. She sauntered through London streets, radiating

Elliot Page is speaking out.
EXCLUSIVE: His reps declined to comment, but word in publishing circles is that Elliot Page’s memoir Pageboy sold to Flatiron Books for north of $3 million. The deal was made based on a 49 page proposal shopped by UTA. Deadline read the document, and it sounds like Page has a truly compelling story to tell about a long struggle to find himself amidst a torrent of homophobic hatred, not only in his hometown of Halifax, Novia Scotia but also in Hollywood where Page first came to fame as an Oscar nominee for Juno. Before he transitioned, Page describes numerous occasions where he was set upon by homophobic bullies, with few willing to help. A beer thrown at Page in Toronto, a menacing loudmouth chasing Page into a restaurant in Hollywood, this was something that happened often to the diminutive Page. The loathsome industry people in Hollywood weren’t named, but there was the male film director who tried to seduce Page at age 16; and the time that a big movie star — who would later say he was ossified and blacked out in a clumsy apology — berated Page at a party in an outrageous homophobic rant. This was just after Page — then known as Ellen — had come out as queer. The actor accused Page’s bold announcement of being false. “You aren’t gay. You are just afraid of men…I’m going to fu*k you to make you realize you aren’t gay.” As the torrent grew louder and more graphic, nobody in the room, even Page’s closest friends, stood up for their friend. It was unclear if they were shocked, or afraid to say anything because the actor was one of the biggest stars in town.
