About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Chicago May: Her Story by May Churchill Sharpe. Read in English by Jim Locke. This is a cold-blooded recital of fact, a plain, unvarnished statement from a client to a lawyer. It is the history of the life of a notorious woman criminal. It was dictated by her to my stenographer, and has not been polished up for public consumption. The story stands as given. (from Foreword by Henry John Nelson)
