When Women Kill
$15.80 online at Bookshop.org
Alia Trabucco Zeran, trained as a lawyer, retells four homicides carried out by Chilean women across the twentieth century. She reads their lives and crimes without sensationalism, showing how each woman was both a perpetrator of violence and a victim of a quieter gendered kind. The book asks what makes women lash out against the restraints of domesticity, and how readers, the media, the art world, and the political establishment treat them when they do. In a translation by Sophie Hughes, this mix of true crime, critical essay, and research diary brings a feminist lens to the study of so-called deviant women.
