Description
Ann Jones explores the lesser-known stories of women who resorted to murder as a means of survival in this thought-provoking study.
From colonial-era infanticide to 20th-century cases of domestic violence, Jones examines the patterns of female criminality that reveal the evolving forms of oppression and abuse in American culture.
This 30th anniversary edition includes a new introduction by the author, offering a fresh perspective on a provocative book that reminds us that women are entitled to their rage.
