520    One would not expect a police officer to describe a 
       criminal as "remarkable," "well worth knowing," or 
       "excellent." Yet some did when their quarry was a 
       confidence woman. Blackmailer, swindler, or pickpocket: 
       the confidence woman could take any form. Regardless of 
       their different motives and tactics, confidence women have
       much in common, for they have long been misrepresented in 
       American literature and culture. In Swindler, Spy, Rebel: 
       The Confidence Woman in Nineteenth-Century America, 
       Kathleen De Grave redresses the exaggerations and 
       distortions by examining how the line between fact and 
       fiction blurs. 
520 8  Drawing from a variety of sources, such as memoirs, 
       diaries, detective reports, newspaper accounts, and 
       sociological studies written during the period, De Grave 
       first presents a historical context. By comparing the 
       exploits of such women as "Chicago May" Churchill, "Big 
       Bertha" Heyman, and Ellen Peck to those of fictional women
       who used the same strategies in noncriminal situations, De
       Grave broadens the definition of the confidence woman 
       beyond criminality to include adventuresses, soldiers/
       spies, and "gold diggers." Next, she relates how the 
       confidence woman appears in autobiographies and in 
       fiction. She further expands her argument to include the 
       narrative devices of nineteenth-century women writers who 
       used a kind of confidence game as a way to lure their 
       readers into the text.
