Women, Murder and Femininity: Gender Representations of Women Who Kill: Cultural Criminology

Autor L. Seal
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 oct 2010
Women who kill rupture our assumptions about what a woman is. This book explores different socio-cultural understandings of women who commit, or are accused, of murder. A wide range of cases are discussed in order to highlight the ways in which such women have been perceived, and how such cases reflect important social and cultural shifts.
