Hell Hath No Fury: Women Who Kill

This book gathers forty-five accounts of women who committed murder, arranged into four sections. The first and largest looks at mothers who killed their own children, and includes widely publicized cases alongside lesser-known ones. The second turns to women who killed their husbands, among them several poisoners. The third section covers further notorious killings carried out by women, while the last looks at younger offenders whose crimes shocked their communities. The closing pages explain postpartum depression and psychosis and Munchausen syndrome by proxy, conditions that often sit behind such crimes. The paperback adds more than 150 pictures.
