Women, Murder and Femininity: Gender Representations of Women

Women, Murder and Femininity: Gender Representations of Women Who Kill (Cultural Criminology)

Women who kill ruptureÂ our assumptions about what a woman is. This book explores different socio-cultural understandings of women who commit, or are accused, of murder. A wide range of cases are discussed in order to highlight the ways in which such women have been perceived, and how such cases reflect important social and cultural shifts.
