Born Matilda Mary Twiss in September 1900, she was involved in a wide range of criminal activities. Sly grog, razor gangs, and prostitution just to name a few.

Vashti has written and self produced works that are based in Sydney's local history. Currently Vashti is performing in Kate's final home, a site specific piece “Dinner with Kate Leigh the Gangster Queen” at 212 Devonshire St, Surry Hills, now the Jazzy Café Bar . “Dinner with Kate Leigh the Gangster Queen” is a spin off of work that she wrote and performed ten years ago - “Mum's In : Stories from Razorhurst”.

This played at the Bordello Theatre, Kings Cross Hotel every Sunday for a year in 2011-12.

It was a rollercoaster ride through 50 years of the Kings Cross as told by Vittorio, played by Vashti. 80 year old Vittorio also ended up being in the show. It made it into the 2015 Sydney Morning Herald's “10 Best Sydney Shows”, and was nominated for the 2016 GLUGS. Vashti wrote and performed “Dictionary by a Bitch” about the infamous Bea Miles, Sydney eccentric and bohemian rebel, famous for reciting Shakespeare in the streets for money.

Iris Webber was no stranger to the inside of a police cell. Labelled a 1920s gangster and the ‘most violent woman in Sydney' in the history books, she lived during a time in our history when male homosexuality was criminalised and lesbianism was admonished. Married to two men during her short life, Iris was also in relationships with women. Something the police were well aware of. Her rap sheet between the years of 1932 and 1937 alone was extensive. She was charged with everything from murder and attempted murder to assault, illegal busking, illegally selling alcohol, indecent language….the list goes on.  Today we go beyond the headlines and delve into the life and crimes of a queer girl gangster who rose to notoriety on the streets of Sydney, nearly 100 years ago.  THE END BITS Subscribe to Mamamia CREDITS Guest: Fiona Kelly McGregor You can find out more about her book Iris here.

Tilly Devine grew up in poverty and took to the oldest profession in the world to survive. However, based on sexist laws of the time, she discovers a loophole in the law that allows her to build a brothel empire with the help of razor gangs for protection.  We won't lie, we don't hate everything about Tilly....crimes aside of course.  Join Patreon Here!

In the 1930s the inner suburbs of Sydney were in turmoil as rival gangs fought it out for supremacy in what was called the Razor Gang Wars'. The Razor Gangs were led by two women - Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh. We also pay tribute ot Shane Warne (Warnie) whom passed away at the young age of 52. For his ball of the century see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44WLwHEWJ4M  

In the 1920s, Sydney's criminal underworld found a new weapon of choice: razors. Tabloids announced “razor mania” was sweeping the suburbs, and locals dubbed the inner-city “Razorhurst.” Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine, the reigning queens of vice, were never far from the action. And in the summer of 1929, their rivalry made the streets run red. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

From a young age, Tilly Devine had stars in her eyes. Born at the turn of the 20th century, she wanted to live a glamorous life. In her teens, she turned to sex work to achieve it. But if she learned her trade in London, she dominated it in Sydney.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's the 7th May, 1929. Nearly two years since gangster Norman Bruhn was gunned down in the inner-city Sydney suburb of Surry Hills. The man who'd tried to interfere with the stronghold Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh had on East Sydney had failed, and paid with his life in the process. But two years on from his death, the streets are still dripping with the blood of razor victims. With or without Norman Bruhn, chaos still reigns on the streets of Darlinghurst. Tilly's brothel empire is raging, and locals still can't get enough of Kate's sly-grog, but there's another organised crime kingpin in town. His name is Phil Jeffs, and in Kings Cross, if you're looking for somewhere to gamble or something to snort, he's your man. He fancies himself as Australia's very own Al Capone. Smartly dressed and well-spoken, he might look the part, but Phil Jeffs isn't to be trusted.  Phil runs the fourth floor of a building on William St, Wooloomooloo, called the 50/50 club. It's a den of debauchery, where police take back-alley payments to turn a blind eye to rife prostitution and drug dealing. It's inside the 50/50 club where he's been cheating his suppliers. The cocaine on the streets of East Sydney is being cut with washing powder, boric acid and other substances. Diluted. It means the likes of Tilly's girls and Kate's standover men are being sold an adulterated product. It means Phil Jeffs is ripping them off.   The rival gangs have found out about Phil's trick and they want blood. So in scenes reminiscent of a Hollywood Western, angry gangsters challenge Phil and his men to settle their dispute on the streets of Kings Cross. They're there to show Phil how they feel, in the only way these mobsters know how to. With violence.  It's just after 10pm in Eaton Avenue, a shadowy street off Bayswater Road. It's no mistake these gangs are gathered here. Eaton Avenue is better known as Blood Alley by locals. A notoriously rough spot where muggings and street brawls are commonplace.  The men on Blood Alley know exactly what they've come for, and it's not just cut-throat razors to fear. Whatever they can get their hands on, boots, clubs, bricks all fly through the air. Many of the men are heavily armed, and for thirty long minutes, gunfire illuminates this dimly-lit patch Kings Cross. Finally, the police arrive. The mobsters disperse and Phill Jeffs escapes by jumping on the back of a car. But the battle of blood alley follows him home. And before Phil Jeffs goes to bed on this chilling May night, gangsters will break into his home and shoot him multiple times, as Razorhurst continues to live up to its name.

In the 1920s and ‘30s, two crime bosses dominated Sydney's criminal underworld. Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine were queens of vice, building their empires on alcohol, cocaine, and sex. They were also fierce rivals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's 1926, and Sydney's underworld is held tightly in the hands of Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine. But down in Melbourne? They've got a fella called Joseph Theodore Leslie Taylor running the show, or ‘Squizzy' as he was better known. Squizzy Taylor is a bonafide gangster in every sense, backed up by a handful of savage henchmen and crooks, known as The Fitzroy Gang. Norman Bruhn is one of Squizzy's closest confidants. Well, he was. Until…he crossed him. Usually, a betrayal of the kingpin would cost you your life, but Norman Bruhn had been spared, under one condition. That he get the hell out of Melbourne quick-smart, and never, ever return. So Norman, his wife, and their two sons pack up and head north, to Sydney. A fresh start, he thinks. This man is a hardened gangster, a standover man, thief, and pimp, and he doesn't think much of two women running the streets of Sydney. Norman thinks he can shake things up around Darlinghurst. He wants to take a slice of the pie that in his mind, has been in the wrong hands for too long. It doesn't take him long to assemble a crew of villains, a gang who would roam the streets of East Sydney carrying not guns to intimidate their enemies, but cut-throat razors. Sharp enough to cause serious damage to anyone caught on the wrong side of Norman Bruhn or one of his boys. Not only are these razors serious weapons, they're a cheap and easy way to protect yourself, and fly under the radar of police, who are busy targeting mobsters carrying illegal firearms.  Momentarily, life will get more difficult for Tilly and Kate under the disruption their new Victorian competitor brings. But Norman Bruhn is about to bite off more than he can chew. Kate and Tilly are already in a never-ending battle to dominate Darlinghurst and its surrounds. This town? It just ain't big enough for three of them. In a few short months, Norman Bruhn will be dead. And it will be just the beginning of bloodshed between East Sydney's cruelest and most cunning gangsters.  CREDITS Host: Emma Gillespie Guests: Larry Writer& Leigh Straw Producer: Gia Moylan Audio Producer: Rhiannon Mooney CONTACT US Tell us what you think of the show via email at truecrime@mamamia.com.au   Join our closed Facebook community to discuss this episode.

The year is 1927.  Sydney is in a post-war party that's been raging on for almost a decade. The suburb of Darlinghurst is the beating heart of it all, and the surrounding areas of Kings Cross, Potts Point, Woolloomoloo and Surry Hills are slums of debauchery, crime and vices. It's an underworld run by two rival crime queens. Kate Leigh and Tilly Divine.  In an effort to stamp out excessive alcohol consumption, pubs have shut at 6pm since 1916, giving rise to what they call the six o'clock swill - where punters attempt to drink as much as they can in the final minutes before 6, before being tossed out of the pub. Thirsty working-class Sydneysiders have the money and appetite for more. So the sly-grog business is born. Unlicensed hotels and liquor-stores are concealed behind butcher shops and florists. There's one on every corner and chances are, if you're somewhere in East Sydney, Kate Leigh supplied the Sly Grog you're drinking.  As you sip that over-priced, watered down whiskey, you're probably no more than a stone's throw from one of Tilly Devine's parlours. The London born madam has a gift for acquiring brothels. She's just 26 and controls some 20 brothels in Darlinghurst alone.  Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine have a stranglehold on their respective businesses, but in a city of sin, with egos like theirs, blood will spill over and over again for control of the streets of Darlinghurst, or Razorhurst as it's about to become known.

Then we move into the modern era to talk John Ibrahim, a man with famously tight lips when it came to interviews. Chuck in some gold standard riffs and you've got yourself another banger.

First, Emily shares the incredible (and wine-cry-inducing) story of Ruth Coker Burks who cared for AIDS patients during the crisis of the 1980s. Then, Kelley spins a tale of sex, murder, and drugs as she covers the notorious Kate Leigh and Tilly Devine, rival crime queens of Sydney Australia. Grab your glass because it's time to wine about herstory! ** Mornings with u by Barradeen | https://soundcloud.com/barradeenMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unportedhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/winingaboutherstory/overview)

If you were looking for vice, Sydney in the 1920s-1940s was the place to be. Duck into the back alleys of Surry Hills and Woolloomooloo and you’d find all the cocaine, “sly grog” (booze!), brawling, and brothels your dark little heart desired, all of it presided over by not one but two larger-than-life crime queens: Tilly Devine and Kate Leigh. The women’s’ rivalry was bloody, colorful, absurd, and stretched on for decades. They raged at each other in the press and in the streets; they insulted each other’s dogs (GASP!); they tried to outdo each other with glamorous photoshoots. Polish your diamonds and hike up your garters, listeners, because we’re diving into their story.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
