Shocking textbook (that doesn't read like one) about women who commit murder and why.
This book changed my life.
This is a great collection of true crime stories, where the women are the killers. Forty-nine stories in all. They span the globe and cover the 19th and 20th centuries.
This is a really good book that I enjoyed immensely! It is very thick and provides hour after hour of suspensful reading. The book covers many different true crime murders committed by woman over the years. A must read!
A thorough study of the subject matter. Not necessarily one story but several cases and in depth research of these particular type of killers: women, who the way I see it have as much right to kill as anybody else and they certainly exercise that right to some extreme and disturbing point. Whoever thought that women are nicer than men they probably never met the killing type. I don't really care about the sex, even though I would respect a woman killing for her survival (as well as any man) but these subjects are way out there. Interesting at times, informative but not a one crime tale. Perhaps the academic type would find it more rewarding specially those on the field of criminology.
This book gives the true stories of 40 famous women murderers. From Ma Barker to Lizzie Borden. This book is edited by Richard Gyn Jones, and he really plays up how evil these women were. What creates the criminal mentality in a women? This book looks at each woman and her story. These women are real criminals in our society and why are they criminals when other women are not? This book examines this and more.
Scary, but exciting read as the author examines the life of each woman and shows why each became a murderer.
