Title: Lady Killers Subtitle: Deadly Women Throughout History Author: Tori Telfer Narrator: Sarah Mollo-Christensen Format: Unabridged Length: 9 hrs and 34 mins Language: English Release date: 10-12-17 Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 24 votes Genres: Nonfiction, True Crime Publisher's Summary: When you think of serial killers throughout history, the names that come to mind are likely Jack the Ripper, John Wayne Gacy, and Ted Bundy. But what about Tillie Klimek, Moulay Hassan, and Kate Bender? The narrative we're comfortable with is one where women are the victims of violent crime - not the perpetrators. In fact, serial killers are thought to be so universally male that, in 1998, FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood infamously declared that there are no female serial killers. Inspired by Telfer's Jezebel column of the same name, Lady Killers disputes that claim and offers 14 gruesome examples as evidence. Although largely forgotten by history, female serial killers rival their male counterparts in cunning, cruelty, and appetite. Each chapter explores the crimes and history of a different female serial killer and then proceeds to unpack her legacy and her portrayal in the media as well as the stereotypes and sexist clichés that inevitably surround her.
