Plot

Acrobat, pickpocket, upholder of the rights of women, Moll Cutpurse swaggers through this picaresque tale, pitting her wits against Puritans and tricksters and cheating the wealthy of their ill-gotten gains, with a little help in the telling from her lover Bridget, the apothecary.

Delightful lesbian romp. Novel based on the life of the "feminist Robin Hood" in Elizabethan England.
