About this listen

Told in her own words, this is the story of serial killer Aileen Wuornos, who was portrayed in an Oscar-winning performance by Charlize Theron in the film Monster.

There have been few female serial killers, but Aileen Wuornos, who was executed in 2002, was a remarkable example of this rare breed of death-row inmate. All too often, female prostitutes have been the victims of male serial killers - Wuornos’ killings were the inverse of this pattern. After escaping an abusive childhood at the hands of her grandparents, she became a child prostitute, progressing into a disastrous adulthood of prostitution and damaging affairs with both men and women. Her eventual metamorphosis from victim to attacker had brutal consequences: a stream of dead men. This is her story, as told to Christopher Berry-Dee, editor of The New Criminologist and director of Britain's Criminology Research Centre.

Aileen Wournos

Well..... great story.... it's a shame that Aileen Wournos came clean before her execution with Nick Broomfield and told him that she didn't kill in self defence.... she was into the robbing buzz and to eliminate a witness

Understanding

I learned a lot more about her & what really happened in her words about her life. It’s sad that she never got any help maybe her life would be a lot different…
