a little dated, but still fascinating
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book was reprinted in 1991 and was a bit dated even then, as it contained little new information (the first edition was published in 1984.) Still, in her profiles of three very different women and the gangs they associate with, Campbell draws a clear picture of the limited choices available to inner-city women. Should be read in tandem with Gini Sikes's "8-Ball Chicks" for an updated view of contemporary gang girls.
