Female Serial Killers

Female Serial KillersHistory often portrays serial killers as male predators - isolated, brutal, and driven by rage or lust. But a darker, often ignored reality exists: women have killed systematically, strategically, and just as ruthlessly.Female Serial Killers is a gripping journey through fifty real cases of women who shattered societal expectations and became some of the deadliest figures in criminal history.From poisoners hiding behind a veneer of domesticity to sadistic caregivers and cult leaders commanding blood sacrifices, these women challenge every stereotype about gender and violence.In this Second Edition, every profile has been meticulously revised and sharpened, with new introductory sections, thematic classifications, psychological insights, and an improved narrative style that remains cold, clear, and unflinching.This book explores key questions often overlooked:How do female serial killers differ from their male counterparts?What methods and motivations recur across cultures and centuries?Why has society historically minimized the existence of women who kill?Rather than sensationalizing these stories, Female Serial Killers seeks to understand them: to trace the patterns, the psychological wounds, and the chilling banality of evil dressed in unexpected forms.Written by Javier Soto, a specialist in historical criminology, this work is essential reading for true crime enthusiasts, criminology students, and anyone interested in the uncomfortable realities of human nature.Because evil, like virtue, knows no gender - and sometimes, no limits.
