Tender Murderers - Women Who Kill (Paperback)

She wasnt even five feet tall, weighed 90 pounds, wrote poetry, and died young, riddled with bullets and with a machine gun in her lap. The infamous Bonnie Parker, immortalized in the movie Bonnie and Clyde, is only one of a select group of 20 women killers whose stories are told in Tender Murderers. Others include Charlotte Corday, of Marat-Sade fame; Belle Starr, the Petticoat Terror of the Plains; and Phoolan Devi, Indias bandit queen, who died as she lived. Trina Robbins, award-winning author and cartoonist, even includes a section on Women Who Missed, such as Valerie Solanas, founder of the Society for Cutting Up Men and attempted assassin of Andy Warhol, and Amy Fisher, the Long Island Lolita. From murderous moms and molls to plucky pirates and Appalachian ax-handlers, Tender Murderers is a rogue's gallery of fascinating female killers. Photographs are included.
