Fanny Hill and Moll Flanders, two of the most infamous women in literature, recount their wild, licentious lives. Fanny's memoirs detail her descent into prostitution and her insatiable sexual appetites. Moll, a thief and con artist, recounts her many amorous entanglements and criminal exploits. Both women navigate the perils of 18th-century England, where their desires make them social outcasts but also give them a twisted form of power. In the end, their unrepentant confessions lay bare the hypocrisies of the time.
