註釋"Everyone starts out totally dependent on a woman. The idea that she could turn out to be your enemy is terribly frightening."
British philanthropist Lord Astor.
Our society can barely account for evil in males, let alone imagine it in females. The female nests, creates, and nurtures doesn't she or is it that we just want to believe in the intrinsic non-threatening nature of women?
Violence is generally considered the territory of the male. People believe that violence is a masculine trait caused by the hormone testosterone. Men are seen as the cause of violence, and women and children the ones who suffer. Literature through the centuries abounds with the submissiveness of female flesh, its compliant form, its penetrability. The female body gives life itself. Women do not physically dominate, thrust, and swagger. Women create, while men destroy. Yet as the women documented in this book show, this is not always the case.
In this short book, best selling true crime writer Sylvia Perrini looks at the profiles of five women serial killers. The five profiles looked at are: DOROTHEA HELEN PUENTE VELMA BARFIELD GENENE JONES AILEEN WUORNUS KATHLEEN FOLBIGG
Each of the women's stories is vastly different and serves as an introduction to the world of the woman serial killer.
