ooh, interesting.

Jane Eyre isn't wholly reliable from the perspective of Wide Sargasso Sea, but that's not at all what you're asking for.

Mickle, from Lloyd Alexander's Westmark, takes to the life of a con artist like a duck to water. I have an idea that there are other Alexandrine street-urchin heroines who lie and con but I may be imagining it.

Stepping outside the genre, I would imagine that noir is filled with such women. Brigid O'Shaughnessy from The Maltese Falcon comes immediately to mind.
