1800′s:
Belle Starr – Leader of a band of cattle thieves.
If you moved it up a bit to include 1930-1940′s the closest you’d are:
Virginia Hill – mobster mistress Bugsy Siegel & others. She allegedly delivered "packages" and smuggled some things here and there.
Bonnie Parker – One half of Bonnie & Clyde. I don’t think they need a description.
Ma Barker – Children were in the Barker-Karpis Gang. She helped them out so that made her an accomplice.
There weren’t too my knowledge any famous "gangsters" like Al Capone etc.
Maybe try getting a vintage esque dress. This website has some cute things

Flapper is really your only option, unless you want to genderbend and just go as a 20′s gangster. You won’t find female gangsters that aren’t flappers or prostitutes.
In addition to M’s fantastic ideas, you could be a starlet like Louise Brooks or Clara Bow (not gangster related but I bet they’d be unique). You might need a wig depending on what your hair looks like:
