Description
The League of Lady Poisoners: A Riveting True Story of Women Who Turned to Poison for Revenge
This sumptuously illustrated book tells the stories of over 25 women who used poison to exact revenge on those who wronged them. From Sally Bassett, who helped poison her enslavers in Bermuda, to Giulia Tofana, who sold her deadly concoction to women seeking to escape abusive husbands, these women's stories are a testament to the power of human ingenuity and the lengths to which people will go to seek justice.
Organized into thematic chapters, the book also includes an illustrated primer on the origins and effects of common poisons throughout history. With a foreword by Holly Frey and Maria Trimarchi, creators of the podcast Criminalia, this book is a worthwhile read for true crime fans, feminist history buffs, and anyone fascinated by the darker side of human nature.
