Description: "This book examines women's participation in the cocaine/crack economy of New York City. All the women are or were long-term drug dealers. In order to be included in the authors' study, a person had to have sold drugs for at least two years. Many of the respondents were involved in drug distribution for considerably longer periods. Thus, the voices heard here are of those who had substantial drug selling careers."--BOOK JACKET.
