About this episode
Virginia Hill may be remembered as a “bit on the side” for mobster Bugsy Siegel – but her story is SO much bigger than that. We reveal how Virginia hustled her way into the heart of the Chicago mob, earning herself the nickname “the female Al Capone” and ending up on the run as the USA's most wanted.
In this funny, fascinating, and scandal-filled podcast, Jameela Jamil and historian Dr Kate Lister pore over the stories of six astonishing “other women”. Women who have been shamed, disparaged and underestimated. Some have been cheated out of the history books altogether. Now Jameela and Kate are placing their stories in the spotlight – to see what history looks like through the eyes of the so-called side-chick.
