Who is the woman in the picture?

Belle Starr was born as Myra Maybelle Shirley (February 5, 1848- February 3, 1889) on her father's farm near Carthage, Missouri, where her father prospered raising wheat, corn, hogs and horses. Most of her family called her May. Her father was John Shirley who was the black sheep of a well-to-do Virginia family who had moved west to Indiana, where he married and divorced twice. Her mother, Elizabeth "Eliza" Hatfield Shirley, was John Shirley's third wife and a distant relative to the Hatfields of the famous family feud. In the 1860s, her father sold the farm and moved the family to Carthage, where he bought an inn, livery stable and blacksmith shop on the town square.

Belle Starr was known as an infamous outlaw in the Wild West—the western edge of the expanding United States in the second half of the 1800s. She associated with famous outlaws, like Frank and Jesse James, and was arrested several times. She was convicted of horse theft in 1883. In recent years, however, historians have gathered data that suggests that she committed far fewer criminal acts than her legend would suggest, with the men in her life being the main purveyors of illicit acts. Belle Starr was killed with 2 blast from a shotgum from behind by an unknown assassin in 1889, with her murderer having never been brought to justice.
