Book Synopsis Female Serial Killers by : Peter Vronsky
Download or read book Female Serial Killers written by Peter Vronsky and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2007-08-07 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fascinating book, Peter Vronsky exposes and investigates the phenomenon of women who kill—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 men—with women registering low on our paranoia radar. Perhaps that’s why so many trusting husbands, lovers, family friends, and children have fallen prey to “the female monster.” From history’s earliest recorded cases of homicidal females to Irma Grese, the Nazi Beast of Belsen, from Britain’s notorious child-slayer Myra Hindley to ‘Honeymoon Killer’ Martha Beck to the sensational cult of Aileen Wournos—the first female serial killer-as-celebrity—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.

Download or read book Fatal written by Harold Schechter and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shocking story of one of the most notorious female serial killers in American history from “an author who shows real mastery of the true crime genre” (NPR). In 1891, Jane Toppan, a proper New England matron, embarked on a profession as a private nurse. Selfless and good-natured, she worked for some of Boston’s most prominent families, but they had no idea what they were welcoming into their homes. Her dark past of tragedy, abuse, and mental illness was carefully hidden. No one who knew Jane as a nurse had any idea that she was morbidly obessed with autopsies, or that she conducted her own after-hours experiments on patients, deriving sexual satisfaction in their slow, agonizing deaths from poison. Self-schooled in the art of murder, Jane was just beginning her career as the most prolific domestic fiend of the nineteenth century.
Book Synopsis America's First Female Serial Killer by : Mary Kay McBrayer
Download or read book America's First Female Serial Killer written by Mary Kay McBrayer and published by Mango Media Inc.. This book was released on 2020-05-19 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is Capote’s In Cold Blood for serial killer enthusiasts: meticulously researched, superbly written, and incredibly vivid. Don’t miss it.” —Gabino Iglesias, author of Coyote Songs America’s First Female Serial Killer novelizes the true story of first-generation Irish-American nurse Jane Toppan, born as Honora Kelley. Although all the facts are intact, books about her life and her crimes are all facts and no story. Jane Toppan was absolutely a monster, but she did not start out that way. When Jane was a young child, her father abandoned her and her sister to the Boston Female Asylum. From there, Jane was indentured to a wealthy family who changed her name, never adopted her, wrote her out of the will, and essentially taught her how to hate herself. Jilted at the altar, Jane became a nurse and took control of her life—and the lives of her victims. “A thoughtful and inspired take on one of the greatest poisoners in history. America’s First Female Serial Killer: Jane Toppan and the Making of a Monster seethes with rage, compulsion, and a righteous condemnation of the servitude of the underclass. A chilling and sobering read.” —Robert Levy, author of The Glittering World “McBrayer offers us a complex—and terrifying—portrait of a killer who seemed almost doomed from birth.” —Kate Winkler Dawson, author of American Sherlock: Murder, Forensics, and the Birth of American CSI “Brings the horrifying true story of Jane Toppan to lurid, novelistic life, and forces the reader face-to-face with the thoughtlessness and cruelty that helped turn a gifted, damaged child into one of America’s most legendary killers.” —Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters
Book Synopsis Wicked Women by : David Elio Malocco
Download or read book Wicked Women written by David Elio Malocco and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karla Homolka is regarded by the Canadian media as North America's most reviled female serial killer for her part in the torture, rape and murder of three young girls, including her own sister, between 1991-1992. But, best- selling true crime author and former criminal lawyer, David Elio Malocco, makes the case that as she was systematically tortured and raped by her husband, the depraved sadist, serial killer and rapist, Paul Bernardo, that she was suffering from Battered Spouse Syndrome and did not emotionally comprehend the crimes of which she was convicted. He opens up the case files including psychiatric reports and never before disclosed accounts to present the Case for Karla Homolka. Despite the infamous statement of an FBI profiler delivered at a convention in 1998 that there were no female serial killers the author tells us that since 1610 there are over 700 documented cases of female serial killers. This book deals with twenty of the world's most notorious female serial killers. Of the twenty serial killers profiled, eight are still alive, seven are in prison, one is free and one is due for release in the near future. The book begins with the Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the inspiration for Bram Stoker's Dracula. Bathory, a lesbian vampire, sexual sadist and reviled torturer, is reputed to be the world's most prolific serial killer with a total kill count of 650 victims. But newly discovered evidence, translated for the first time into English by renowned Bathory expert, Professor Kimberly Craft, dispels some of the myths surrounding the Blood Countess of Hungary. Did she really rip the throats of young virgins with her own teeth and later bathe in their blood to preserve her beauty? Read the fascinating up-dated account of this real life vampire. The author separates the killers by way of motive into Thrill Seekers (Marta Beck, Myra Hindley, Aileen Wuornos, Gwendolyn Graham, Catherine Wood and Joanne Dennehy); Black Widows (Mary Ann Cotton, Catherine Flannagan, Margaret Higgins, Belle Sorenson Gunness, Dagmar Overbye, and Dorothea Punete); the Caring Profession (Amy Archer Gilligan, Genene Jones, and Beverly Allitt); and finally Sadistic Killers (Countess Bathory, Daria Saltykova, Rose West and Dana Sue Gray). Properly researched, superbly edited and eminently readable this soon to be classic book of wicked women is a must read for anyone interested in what makes women kill and the whole concept of Battered Spouse Syndrome. This is an altogether thoroughly enjoyable read.
Book Synopsis Female Serial Killers in Social Context by : Yardley, Elizabeth
Download or read book Female Serial Killers in Social Context written by Yardley, Elizabeth and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2015-08-26 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attempts to understand serial murder tend to be focused on individual cases rather than the social context in which they occurred. This book departs from that approach, taking up the case of nineteenth-century serial killer Mary Ann Cotton and setting it in its full social context. Drawing from records of Cotton's court appearances, local histories, and newspaper articles, it shows how institutions such as the family, economy, and religion shaped the environment she inhabited. While not denying the singularity of individuals who commit serial murder, the authors nonetheless make a powerful case for the influence and effects of society on their actions.

These women serial killers committed some of the evilest and shocking murders there are. This book tells their story. If you were to think of a killer, what's the first thing that would come to mind? Is it a hulking figure with bulging biceps and a deep, gravelly voice? Well, what about a kind, sweet old lady? Or what about an attractive young girl who looks like she could be a supermodel? Such images may not match the popular conception of serial killers, but there are indeed killers who fit this profile. Women are less likely to commit murder, yes, but in the small club of female serial killers that exists, there are some rather outrageous characters.Just take the case of the female professional wrestler from Mexico, Juana Barraza. She wrestled other women in the ring by day and wrung their necks by night. There's also the stunning story of Sharon Kinne, who killed her husband, one of her lovers, and one of her lover's wives-one after the other. Not only that-she escaped from prison and hasn't been seen since! Here in this book, we take a look at Women Gone Mad, highlighting some of the most notorious female serial killers the world has ever known.

She was the 10th woman to be sentenced to death in the USA since the death penalty resumed in 1976. Convicted for the murder of six men, in a two month period, Aileen claimed she acted in self defence however the investigation into these claims was poor and she later retracted her statement announcing to the Supreme Court, "I'm one who seriously hates human life and would kill again." All-too-often female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers - the killings of Aileen 'Lee' Wuornos were the inverse of this. She was a child prostitute, fleeing an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, which led straight into a disastrous adulthood of difficult affairs with both men and women. Her metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences: a stream of dead men. Following a renewed interest in this woman after the film "Monster", this is her story in her own words.

Book Synopsis In the Mind of a Female Serial Killer by : Stephen Jakobi
Download or read book In the Mind of a Female Serial Killer written by Stephen Jakobi and published by Grub Street Publishers. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four turn-of-the-century fiends whose “crimes, even by today’s standards, are still shocking—because they were committed by women” (Yorkshire Magazine). Their names may not be as familiar as such notorious female serial killers as Aileen Wuornos, Myra Hindley, Martha Beck, or Belle Gunness. But more than a century ago they made headlines and enthralled a bloodthirsty public. Now, venturing into the darkest side of human behavior, journalist Stephen Jakobi unearths the life and crimes of four of history’s most twisted women: Agnes Norman, a London servant girl whose victims of choice were children, including three infants. Most startling is that Agnes was a child herself—only fifteen-years-old. Louie Calvert, a prostitute condemned for only one murder. But her unique death cell autobiography revealed much more to her story. Kate Webster committed one of the sickest slayings of the Victorian era. Was she also responsible for the Thames Torso Murders which rivaled Jack the Ripper? Finally, the mysterious Mrs. Willis, an English “baby farmer” whose services included foster care, wet-nursing, and infanticide. Using original research based on family-owned primary sources and government files only recently made available, In the Mind of a Female Serial Killer delves into to the grisly psyche of these infamous murderesses.

Book Synopsis American Female Serial Killers by : Brian Berry
Download or read book American Female Serial Killers written by Brian Berry and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-07 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America has a long and complicated fascination with serial killers. When we think about the most infamous of these killers, we generally think of men like Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, or John Wayne Gacy. Those names make headlines while there's the often-repeated myth that suggests there are no female serial killers. After all, most of us couldn't name a woman on the same scale of infamy at BTK or the elusive Zodiac Killer, can we? As it so often is, the truth is far more complicated. Women kill. While they are less sensationalized than their male counterparts, they are no less deadly. At time of publication, current research shows that one in six serial killers are female, bringing their number to fifteen percent of confirmed serial killers. This reference book includes background information on the killers, their victims, methods, and - where relevant - their arrests, trials, and convictions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Fatal Females, investigative psychologist and former police profiler Micki Pistorius examines the minds and motives of women who kill. Throughout history the view seems to have prevailed that it is not in women's nature to commit violent crime, but Pistorius shows that this is not in fact the case. Women, givers of life, are indeed capable of ruthlessly taking life. She examines more than fifty documented cases of South African female killers, categorised according to the nature of the crime - for example, infanticide, spree killings, stalkers, poisoners - and she presents her new hypothesis to explain the psychology of that rare individual, the female serial killer.
