Tiger woman : my story

May, Betty2014
Books, Manuscripts
This book tells the incredible life story that inspired the forthcoming new musical, 'Tiger Woman Versus The Beast Dancer', singer, gang member, cocaine addict and sometime confectionist, Betty May's autobiography thrilled and appalled the public when her story first appeared at the end of the roaring twenties. Born into abject squalor in London's Limehouse area, May used her steely-eyed, striking looks and street nous to become an unlikely bohemian celebrity sensation, a fixture at the Cafe Royal, London, marrying four times along the way alongside numerous affairs.
