Innocent, guilty, coerced, framed. These are the stories of dozens of women who found themselves on the wrong side of the law. Whether innocent or not, these women were all indicted for murder of some sort; most of them ended up facing execution. From Britain's late medieval period through the following 600 years, this book explores the world of murderous female crime and pulls you in to the lives of these women. It situates their stories on the timeline of British crime and relates their terrible deeds to the criminal world and proceedings of the times they lived in. Enjoy this glimpse into the history of Britain's criminal underbelly and the women within it, who showed what desperation, lack of mental health support, and cruelty, could lead to. AUTHOR: Erin Fetterly is a historian, researcher, and writer from Canada. She is currently working toward her PhD from Birkbeck, University of London, where she is writing about early modern women's manuscript writing.
