This book is about 14 women whom our history will remember as the most dangerous, ruthless and bloodthirsty criminals. In each chapter, Tory Tefler talks not only about their crimes, but also about how they were perceived in the press and what aura they acquired under its influence. And also tries to answer the question: why do women kill?

The bloodthirsty Countess Erzhbet Bathory, the ruthless landowner Saltychikha, the grandmother-poisoner Nanny Doss, the sisters Raya and Sakina, who killed innocent women of Alexandria for the sake of profit. These and other women whose criminal deeds shocked the public were not “demons,” “fatal villains,” “vampires,” or “witches.” They were real serial killers, and here is a book that will shed light on their horrific stories.
