'Lilian -the bobbed-haired bandit' was inspired by the story of Lilian Goldstein. Lilian started her crime 'career' in the 1920s as a getaway driver but was soon organising her own audacious robberies. She outsmarted police with detectives describing her as 'a very spunky girl.' Lilian is part of my series of artworks seeking to depict the often messy lives of female criminals through history. In contrast with men, women who come to the attention of the press are often described by their appearance. How much has really changed over the last century?
