Women In The Mob! Tour Takes Place On 3/21 In Vegas At The Mob Museum

From Mob boss to prosecutor, from partner to victim—women have played countless pivotal roles throughout Mob history. For Women’s History Month in March, The Mob Museum, the National Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement, will offer two special guided tours exploring the theme of “Women in Organized Crime and Law Enforcement.” The tour will take place on Saturday, March 21, from 4 to 5:30 p.m.

During the tours, participants will learn about everything from the definition of “gun moll,” to women’s roles in both the Temperance Movement and Prohibition-era bootlegging. Prominent women in law enforcement featured will include Eunice Carter, who became the first black woman assistant district attorney in New York State and led a prostitution racketeering case that ultimately resulted in the prosecution of Mob boss Charles “Lucky” Luciano. Also featured will be Donna Congeni Fitzsimmons, who prosecuted the Cleveland Mafia. Stories will be revealed about Virginia Hill, Judith Campbell and Catherine Grieg, women whose romantic entanglements with Mobsters brought them notoriety. Finally, the tour will reveal the stories of high-ranking women operatives in organized crime networks, such as Medellin Cartel drug lord—the “Cocaine Godmother”—Griselda Blanco.

The price for these special guided tours is $10, in addition to the regular cost of Museum admission. For more information, go to www.TheMobMuseum.org or call (702) 229-2734.
