About this listen

A powerful collection of stories about women who murdered - for revenge, for love, and even for pleasure - rife with historical details that will have any true-crime junkie on the edge of their seat

In every tragic story, men are expected to be the killers. There are countless studies and works of art made about male violence. However, when women are featured in stories about murder, they are rarely portrayed as predators. They’re the prey. This common dynamic is one of the reasons that women are so enthralled by female murderers. They do the things that women aren’t supposed to do and live the lives that women aren’t supposed to want: lives that are impulsive and angry and messy and inconvenient. Maybe we feel bad about loving them, but we eat it up just the same.

Residing squarely in the middle of a Venn diagram of feminism and true crime, She Kills Me tells the story of 40 women who murdered out of necessity, fear, revenge, and even for pleasure.

I could have done without the misogynist quotations inserted completely randomly in the book. Aristotle is lowlier than his nameless mother and any man who needs to demean a woman that much to elevate his tiny self is nothing but a human parasite. We are sick of misogyny, the world is sick and tired of misogyny and of all the small dicked mensters who degrade and shame their makers. The misogynists are lower in status than slaves and animals and a human voice is wasted on them.

Good book I wish there were more like it
