This was a brief overview of women in history who have killed. Each entry is only 3-5 pages so it is a very brief coverage of their crimes and what lead up to it. A lot of the book is hearsay and popular legends, and while Wright prefaces those instances with "it's said" or "people believe" or "rumor has it" this book isn't nearly as deep or thoroughly researched as it could be (Many of Wright's subjects are also covered by the podcast Noble Blood which goes far deeper in depth). But it definitely serves as a light beach read for true crime stans.
