Book Synopsis Executed Women of 20th and 21st Centuries by : L. Kay Gillespie
Download or read book Executed Women of 20th and 21st Centuries written by L. Kay Gillespie and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Executed Women of the 20th and 21st Centuries provides a look into the lives, crimes, and executions of women during the 20th and 21st centuries. Rather than dealing with these women as numbers and statistics, this book presents them as human beings. Each of these women had lives, histories, and families. The purpose is not to condone their actions, but to suggest that those we executed are, in fact, humans—rather than monsters, as they are often portrayed.

Download or read book Death Row Women written by Mark Gado and published by Praeger. This book was released on 2008 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 20th century, only six women were legally executed by the State of New York at Sing Sing Prison. In each case, the condemned faced a process of demonization and public humiliation that was orchestrated by a powerful and unforgiving media. When compared to the media treatment of men who went to the electric chair for similar offenses, the press coverage of female killers was ferocious and unrelenting. Granite woman, black-eyed Borgia, roadhouse tramp, sex-mad, and lousy prostitute are just some of the terms used by newspapers to describe these women. Unlike their male counterparts, females endured a campaign of expulsion and disgrace before they were put to death. Not since the 1950s has New York put another woman to death. Gado chronicles the crimes, the times, and the media attention surrounding these cases. The tales of these death row women shed light on the death penalty as it applies to women and the role of the media in both the trials and executions of these convicts. In these cases, the press affected the prosecutions, the judgements, and the decisions of authorities along the way. Contemporary headlines of the era are revealing in their blatant bias and leave little doubt of their purpose. Using family letters, prison correspondence, photographs, court transcripts, and last- minute pleas for mercy, Gado paints a fuller picture of these cases and the times.

This book was released on 1999-02-28 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a historical framework, this book offers not only the penal history of the death penalty in the states that have given women the death penalty, but it also retells the stories of the women who have been executed and those currently awaiting their fate on death row. This work takes a historical look at women and the death penalty in the United States from 1900 to 1998.

Book Synopsis Women and Capital Punishment in the United States by : David V. Baker
Download or read book Women and Capital Punishment in the United States written by David V. Baker and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the execution of women in the United States has largely been ignored and scholars have given scant attention to gender issues in capital punishment. This historical analysis examines the social, political and economic contexts in which the justice system has put women to death, revealing a pattern of patriarchal domination and female subordination. The book includes a discussion of condemned women granted executive clemency and judicial commutations, an inquiry into women falsely convicted in potentially capital cases and a profile of the current female death row population.
Download or read book Lethal State written by Seth Kotch and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years, American states have tinkered with the machinery of death, seeking to align capital punishment with evolving social standards and public will. Against this backdrop, North Carolina had long stood out as a prolific executioner with harsh mandatory sentencing statutes. But as the state sought to remake its image as modern and business-progressive in the early twentieth century, the question of execution preoccupied lawmakers, reformers, and state boosters alike. In this book, Seth Kotch recounts the history of the death penalty in North Carolina from its colonial origins to the present. He tracks the attempts to reform and sanitize the administration of death in a state as dedicated to its image as it was to rigid racial hierarchies. Through this lens, Lethal State helps explain not only Americans' deep and growing uncertainty about the death penalty but also their commitment to it. Kotch argues that Jim Crow justice continued to reign in the guise of a modernizing, orderly state and offers essential insight into the relationship between race, violence, and power in North Carolina. The history of capital punishment in North Carolina, as in other states wrestling with similar issues, emerges as one of state-building through lethal punishment.

Book Synopsis Death Row's Wildest Women by : Ty Treadwell
Download or read book Death Row's Wildest Women written by Ty Treadwell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-04 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brooke Rottiers used her bras and underwear to strangle two men to death, and even shoved a pair of panties down one man's throat. Brittany Holberg couldn't decide on the perfect murder weapon, so she used a butcher knife, a grapefruit knife, two forks, a hammer, a skillet, a steam iron, a space heater, and a lamp pole to dispatch her victim. And Juanita Spinelli, known as "The Duchess," never killed anyone with her own hands but still earned a trip to the gas chamber as the leader of a gang of carnival rejects and misfit criminals. Death Row's Wildest Women takes a wry, irreverent look at 13 of history's most ferocious females. Meet Eva Dugan, AKA Claw-Finger Kitty, a former cabaret dancer who literally lost her head on the day of her hanging due to a faulty noose. Learn about Antoinette Frank, the crooked cop who killed two people during a restaurant robbery then showed up at the murder scene again hours later to investigate the crime. Read about a woman who had sex with a future state senator in the back seat of a car on her way to the electric chair, and another woman who experienced sexual pleasure with every swing of her pickax as she committed a gruesome double murder. These death row inmates had one thing in common; they were all women, but their behavior was anything but ladylike
