Dit boek onderzoekt 18 sensationele cases van vrouwen die terecht stonden voor moord van 1870 tot en met 1958. De late 19de en vroege 20ste eeuw was een revolutionaire periode in het leven van de vrouw. Kregen vrouwen in de beklaagdenbank een voorkeursbehandeling of werden ze net ernstiger bestraft? De details van deze moordonderzoeken zijn gedocumenteerd in gerechtelijke dossiers. De auteurs ontdekten dat de meeste vrouwen en hun advocaten probeerden om gebruik te maken van genderstereotypering. Diegenen die tijdens de zitting overtuigend de rol van slachtoffer konden spelen, slaagden er het vaakst in om de jury rond hun vinger te winden en zo een gunstiger vonnis te bekomen.
