A collection of stories about women who murderedâfor revenge, for love, and even for pleasure.
What The Reviewers Say
Regardless of their fame or familiarity, each woman’s story is a fascinating (albeit short) read, and educational—especially for any woman looking to do away with a pesky husband, annoying ex, disturbing neighbor, or even, yes, a wayward misbehaving child.
A serious subject, women who kill, gets a jaunty treatment by author Wright. Brief essays give an overview of women who committed murder for a variety of reasons but with a common thread of bucking the patriarchy.
Each account is brief, an amuse-bouche for readers interested in crimes perpetrated by women.
