Ana Cumpănaș or Anna Sage, nicknamed Woman in Red (1889 – April 25, 1947), was a Romanian prostitute and brothel owner in the American cities of Chicago and Gary, Indiana. She is best known for assisting the Federal Bureau of Investigation to track down gangster John Dillinger. Cumpănaș was a native of Comloșu Mare, a village in the Banat region of what is now Romania. She married Michael Chiolak in 1909, and the couple moved to the United States either the same year, in 1914, or 1919, settling in East Chicago, Indiana. They had a son, Steve Chiolak, in 1911, but their marriage did not last. By the end of the decade, Cumpănaș was working as a prostitute; she later became a madam. Her first brothel was in East Chicago, and in 1923, she opened a second one in Gary.
