About this ebook
This fascinating book looks at various crimes perpetrated in all four countries of the UK over ten centuries, the stories of almost 200 of the many women who committed them, and the punishments they received.
From before William the Conqueror arrived until now, there has been very little change in the types of crimes women commit. In March AD 978 Queen Aelfthryth murdered her stepson, and in the 1940s a transgender woman was in one of her ‘funny moods’, so she brutally murdered her neighbour. In the intervening centuries, women were committing a variety of crimes and getting punished for them if they got caught. This book tells the story of some of them.
