This is another one of those short story collections I've been dipping into for a while now. From the Pulp Fiction collections edited by Otto Penzler this one is entitled "The Dames" and is introduced by Laura Lippman.
From the Blurb:
From Sally the Sleuth to The Girl Who Knew Too Much, these women knew how to steal a guy's heart - or is gun - and they weren't afraid to use their fists if their charms wouldn't get them what they wanted. Risking their lives and ending others, these dames are certain to set your heart racing, whether you're a pulp novice or a hard-boiled fan.
