Women who Murder

It is often stated in the media that few women are serial killers - that it is a male manifestation. However, there are many exceptions to the rule. There are 35 female criminals discussed in this book, and most of them killed at least one person. Some killed hundreds of thousands of people (and were hung for their efforts).

Two of the people in this book didn't actually kill anyone, although they both conspired to kill the President of the United States - Mary Surratt and Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme. Lizzie Borden is included, although it should be point out that she was found not guilty of murder.

Clearly, the most horrifying of the criminals mentioned herein are the Nazis concentration camp female employees. It almost seems strange to include Jodi Arias in the same category as Nazi Maria Mandel. However, both, ultimately, were murderers.
