Description
Discover the shocking stories of Victorian women who were convicted of murder and hanged. Christina Croft's book explores over eighty cases, revealing the complexities and nuances of their lives and crimes.
From those who claimed to have been driven mad by grief or poverty, to those who were seen as wicked or evil, each woman's story is a testament to the societal pressures and injustices that led them to commit such heinous acts. This book sheds light on a dark period in history, where women were often viewed with compassion when committing infanticide, but met with harsh justice for other crimes.
With a focus on the facts and figures of these remarkable cases, Murderesses In Victorian Britain is a thought-provoking exploration of the lives and deaths of women who lived during this tumultuous era.
