But when they do, they are likely to kill their intimates: husbands, lovers, or children. In \u003cem\u003eWomen Who Kill\u003c\/em\u003e, journalist Ann Jones explores these homicidal patters and what they reflect about women and our culture. She considers notorious cases such as axe-murderer Lizzie Borden, acquitted of killing her parents; Belle Gunness, the Indiana housewife turned serial killer; Ruth Snyder, the \"adulteress\" electrocuted for murdering her husband; and Jean Harris, convicted of shooting her lover, the famous \"Scarsdale Diet doctor.\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLooking beyond sensationalized figures, Jones uncovers different trends of female criminality through American history--trends that reveal the evolving forms of oppression and abuse in our culture. From the prevalence of infanticide in colonial days to the poisoning of husbands in the nineteenth century and the battered wives who fight back today, Jones recounts the tales of dozens of women whose stories, and reasons, would otherwise be lost to history.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFirst published in 1980, \u003cem\u003eWomen Who Kill\u003c\/em\u003e is a \"provocative book\" that \"reminds us again that women are entitled to their rage.\" This 30th anniversary edition from Feminist Press includes a new introduction by the author (\u003cem\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-5872444\"\u003eAnn Jones\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Feminist Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.00w x 1.13d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558616073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558616071\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-TRU\"\u003eTrue Crime\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-TRU002010\"\u003eMurder | Serial Killers\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC028000\"\u003eWomen's Studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SOC\"\u003eSocial Science\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SOC032000\"\u003eGender Studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnn Jones\u003c\/b\u003e is a scholar, journalist, photographer, and the author of ten books of nonfiction, including \u003ci\u003eKabul in Winter\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Feminist Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44087009345711,"sku":"1558616071","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9255\/8767\/files\/img_66f47170-53ab-4d05-87e8-fe84ceebcfd9.jpg?v=1719831623","url":"https:\/\/www.correctionsbookstore.com\/products\/women-who-kill-9781558616073","provider":"Corrections Bookstore ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
