Summary of this Book...
An in depth look at the often ignored phenomenon of female serial killers.
This type of Book is good for...
Readers interested in female studies, true crime, the media's effects on the judicial system
I especially liked...
Vronsky's revealing account's of female serial killer's in history dating as far back as the Roman Empire.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
continue reading on some the overlooked studies of female serial killer's in history as well as some of the female activist's Vronsky quoted throughout the book.
This Book made me feel...
as though women are "glorified" in their acts of killing whereas men are seen as deadly, women are often viewed as victims who are rarely able to accept responsibility for their acts.
The author of this Book...
covered female serial killers from all walks of life. Clearly doing his research, Vronsky spoke of women from all era's and even addressed how the media has hopped on the bandwagon, using these women and their stories as money makers, moreso then their male counterparts.
I recommend this Book because...
it is strong in its information and uses many sources. It is an interesting read in terms of what the case studies show as well as the statistics of female serial killers.
Further Comments...
Before reading this book, as Vronsky deliberatly points out, I could not name but a handful of known female serial killers. Those seen portrayed in movies as victims and the abused, many of the case studies proved to be intelligent, well spoken women who used their power, circumstance and bodies as means to commit their crimes.
