Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Ex library copy with no external stickers. Partial date due slip on inside. Some minor wear to book corners. Book is clean and binding is still very good.

Do women kill? Yes, they do, but often for very different reasons from men ... Meet the women who have murdered - they've killed children, husbands, lovers, relatives and friends. They include the desperate, the poor, the abused, the sexually betrayed, and the downright callous.

In some cases they were motivated by fear of society's disapproval, in others they acted to save themselves from violence. Among their number were early backyard abortionists like Madame Olga and Madame Harper; poisoners like Caroline Grills and Yvonne Fletcher; women who committed infanticide like Keli Lane; women who formed lovers? pacts to murder their husbands; and women whose troubled lives on the margins, like transgendered Eugenia Falleni/Harry Crawford, led them almost inevitably to crime.
