Deadly Women Throughout History

A lively collection of historical profiles that examines notorious women who killed or were accused of murder, blending archival research and cultural analysis to probe their motives, methods and the myths that surrounded them; the book challenges stereotypes about female violence by showing how sensationalized media, gendered expectations and legal systems shaped public perceptions while revealing the complex, often overlooked contexts of these women’s lives.
