Marm Mandelbaum was born into poverty in New York City's Lower East Side in the 1860s. As a young woman, she turned to crime to make a living, and quickly rose through the ranks of the city's criminal underworld. By the early 1900s, she was one of the most powerful crime bosses in New York City, controlling a vast network of gambling dens, brothels, and speakeasies.

Mandelbaum was a ruthless and cunning woman, and she used her power to terrorize her rivals and protect her own interests. She was also a skilled manipulator, and she often used her charm and wit to get what she wanted.

Mandelbaum's criminal empire lasted for decades, but it eventually came crashing down in the early 1930s. She was arrested and convicted of racketeering, and she spent the rest of her life in prison.

Marm Mandelbaum was a complex and fascinating figure, and her story is a gripping tale of crime, power, and redemption. Judith Wellman's book, The True Story of Marm Mandelbaum and Her Gangs of New York, is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of crime in America.
