SYNOPSIS: A fearless and superbly written call to reframe our ideas about female violence. Why do young women murder their babies and dump them in trash cans? What motivates women to team up with men on ghoulish killing sprees? Who are the victims of the female serial killer? When She Was Bad explores the heart of female darkness and shows that women are more violent than anyone supposed. Patricia Pearson includes spell-binding portraits of contemporary murderesses including Karla Faye Tucker, who was recently executed for having killed two people with a pickax; Karla Homolka, who raped and killed three women, including her sister, and then blamed it on battered wife syndrome; and Aileen Wuornos, a Florida woman who shot seven men. And Pearson marshals a vast amount of research and statistical support from criminologists, anthropologists, psychiatrists, and sociologists, and includes many revealing interviews with dozens of men and women in the criminal justice system who have firsthand experience with violent women. When She Was Bad is a fascinating study whose findings will take center stage in future discussions of female violence. Patricia Pearson is an award-winning writer and crime journalist. She won a National Magazine Award for her article on Karla Homolka, "Behind Every Successful Psychopath." She is a contributing editor for Saturday Night, as well as writing for many other publications and for television both in Canada and the United States.
