True crime fans! This book dedicates each chapter to a different female murderer, from a giggling granny to the Blood Countess (purportedly the inspiration for Bram Stoker’s Dracula). The author takes a look at why women who murder are forgotten/overshadowed by their male counterparts (think Jack the Ripper, Jeffery Dahmer, The Zodiac Killer). Part feminist agenda, part gory history, this book was an interesting listen while I knit!
[If you enjoy this, you may also wish to try The Girls of Murder City by Douglas Perry, The Trial of Lizzie Borden: a True Story by Cara Robertson, Hell’s Princess: the Mystery of Belle Gunness, Butcher of Men by Harold Schechter, or Rampage by Lee Mellor.]
