A powerful collection of stories about women who murdered—for revenge, for love, and even for pleasure—rife with historical details that will have any true-crime junkie on the edge of their seat
In every tragic story, men are expected to be the killers. There are countless studies and works of art made about male violence. However, when women are featured in stories about murder, they are rarely portrayed as predators. They’re the prey. This common dynamic is one of the reasons that women are so enthralled by female murderers. They do the things that women aren’t supposed to do and live the lives that women aren’t supposed to want: lives that are impulsive and angry and messy and inconvenient. Maybe we feel bad about loving them, but we eat it up just the same.
Residing squarely in the middle of a Venn diagram of feminism and true crime, She Kills Me tells the story of forty women who murdered out of necessity, fear, revenge, and even for pleasure.
Jennifer Wright is a regular contributor to the New York Post, reporting on millennial issues. She has written for many publications, including the New York Times, the Washington Post, McSweeney’s, the New Yorker, and Glamour.
An Audie nominee and two-time AudioFile Earphones Award winner, Eva Kaminsky has recorded over 250 audiobooks in a variety of genres, ranging from romance to sci-fi to children's stories. You can often hear her voice on television and radio ads for such products as Intel, Neulasta, and Publix Supermarkets, and see her on screen in shows including Billions, The Sinner, Chicago Med, Manifest, and the feature film The Dark Tower. Eva has worked extensively in theater, both on and Off-Broadway, as well as around the country. She spent all of 2019 in the Broadway company of Harry Potter & the Cursed Child. She lives in Washington Heights, NYC.
Reviews
“This collection will both creep you out and leave you a little bit inspired, depending on the story you read.”
“Conversations about murderers tend to focus on men…[but] Wright sets the record straight here…Wright pinpoints forty women across history and from around the globe who had the means, opportunity, and motive to take out someone (or several someones).”
“Combines true crime and history….in this gripping and gruesome collection.”
