There is nothing more shocking or fascinating than the story of a homicidal woman. We are told that violence is a man’s domain that a woman is pre-programmed to nurture and protect. Women who break this taboo are hated and reviled; their stories scorched into our collective psyches. This book profiles twenty-one female murderers throughout history from powerful female warriors such as Boudicca and Agrippina to the revenge killings of Ruth Ellis and Phoolan Devi to the outright psychotic butcherings of Mona Fandey and Juana Barraza. Beautiful and evocative illustrations by Sarah Tanat-Jones make their stories even more compelling.

I really enjoyed reading Women Who Kill―and because this is an illustration focused blog, after all―loved the accompanying illustrations. Created in a limited color palette, they capture the essence of the women’s crimes. This is a great book if you’re a true crime fan or know someone who is.―BrownPaperBag
Sarah Tanat-Jones’ art has a sketchy, airy immediacy to its pages, revealing a keen and sharpened eye to design that has the colours floating and stabbing in washed out red, grey/blue and white. They have an iconic edge that tells the story really well as you turn from story to story.―DowntheTubes
It’s a hardback book with a cover that nods at the direct graphic approach used by the great Sue Coe. The end papers are unusual as they cover three pages instead of two, each depicting the tools of killing against a red background – there will be blood! The illustrations are seductive and the women featured seem elevated by virtue of their destructive force―TheAOI
