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.

Interesting snapshots
Not a lot of detail or analysis here but I found it a good introduction to cases which I could then research further. Gives truth to the view that you can find humour in anything with the right perspective and approach.

Murder versus divorce
This is a quirky, humorous look at what turns women into monsters. Short, sharp stories of murder and mayhem spanning a millennium. A perfect combination of horror and humour.

A must read/listen
This novel is fantastic. It's well written/researched and the Narrator, Eva Kaminsky, was incredible. Highly recommend.

Interesting history spoiled by dumb feminist commentary
I love history and am prepared to take it warts and all, but this author is on a very leftist feminist and misandrist rant. Sure there was misogyny and inequality in the past and up to a point it should be mentioned to provide background to the historical stories, but this author sets the stage for these stories as though the so called patriarchy is responsible for all the ills of this world and some reason as to why psychotic women committed murder. Sometimes people are simply killers or just bad people, men or women, and it has little to do with social inequality, past trauma or upbringing, simply put some people are plain evil.
I feel the authors dumb feminist commentary took away from the interesting history she was writing about. 2 1/2 stars and that’s only because I love history.
