Female Serial Killers: How and Why Women Become Monsters

In this fascinating book, Peter Vronsky exposes and investigates the phenomenon of women who killâ€”and the political, economic, social and sexual implications buried with each victim.

How many of us are even remotely prepared to imagine our mothers, daughters, sisters or grandmothers as fiendish killers? For centuries we have been conditioned to think of serial murderers and psychopathic predators as menâ€”with women registering low on our paranoia radar. Perhaps thatâ€™s why so many trusting husbands, lovers, family friends, and children have fallen prey to â€œthe female monster.â€Â
Â
From historyâ€™s earliest recorded cases of homicidal females to Irma Grese, the Nazi Beast of Belsen, from Britainâ€™s notorious child-slayer Myra Hindley to â€˜Honeymoon Killerâ€™ Martha Beck to the sensational cult of Aileen Wournosâ€”the first female serial killer-as-celebrityâ€”to cult killers, homicidal missionaries, and our pop-culture fascination with the sexy femme fatale, Vronsky not only challenges our ordinary standards of good and evil but also defies our basic accepted perceptions of gender role and identity.
