Mary Frith
Mary Frith (c. 1584 – 26 July 1659), alias Moll (or Mal) Cutpurse, was a notorious pickpocket and fence of the London underworld.
==Meaning of nicknames==
The name Moll Cutpurse was a pun: Moll, apart from being a nickname for Mary, was a common name for a young woman—usually of disreputable character. Cutpurse denoted her reputation as a thief who would cut purses to steal the contents.
The other name by which she was known, "The Roaring Girl" is taken from "roaring boys", young gentlemen who caroused in taverns and then picked fights on the street.
