But what about Tillie Klimek, Moulay Hassan, Kate Bender? The narrative we’re comfortable with is the one where women are the victims of violent crime, not the perpetrators. In fact, serial killers are thought to be so universally, overwhelmingly male that in 1998, FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood infamously declared in a homicide conference, “There are no female serial killers.”

In the waning years of the 19th century, women journalists across the United States risked reputation and their own safety to expose the hazardous conditions under which many Americans lived and worked.

In an audiobook that is as unflinching as it is passionate, Lamb tackles head on the growing number of stories of brutality against women from across the world, some of which have shocked her more profoundly than anything she has seen in her 30-year career as a war correspondent.

Archetypes of “witch” and “slut” have been used to police female sexuality and punish women; now, feminists are reclaiming them as positive affirmations. This book unearths the sex positive feminist legacy of the witch in art, music, politics, and popular culture, connecting the fictional witch we love to emulate and fear with real women, past and present.

The 1890s was the peak of the American bicycle craze, and consumers, including women, were buying bicycles in large numbers. Despite critics who tried to discourage women from trying this new sport, women took to the bike in huge numbers, and mastery of the bicycle became a metaphor for women’s mastery over their lives. Spurred by the emergence of the “safety” bicycle and the ensuing cultural craze, women’s professional bicycle racing thrived in the United States from 1895 to 1902.

La pasión, bien sea amorosa, ideológica o simplemente vital, ha tenido consecuencias desdichadas para el sexo femenino. La consagración de una vida al arte, al amor, o a una causa política o religiosa muchas veces ha resultado en un trágico final para muchas mujeres a lo largo de todas las épocas y en todas las latitudes. Juana de Arco, Inés de Castro, Ana Bolena, María Estuardo, Mata Hari, Diana de Gales, Grace Kelly o Diane Fossey murieron víctimas de la intolerancia de quienes las rodeaban o por haber cometido el delito de amar apasionadamente.  

Mary I, perhaps best known by the moniker Bloody Mary, was England’s first female monarch who ruled in her own right. A fighter from birth, she was the only surviving child of Henry VIII and his wife, Catherine of Aragon. Mary would make her way back to her father’s good graces after being cast out by him in favor of his numerous wives and would eventually undo her father’s religious reforms by restoring Roman Catholicism in England. The fourth Tudor to rule England, Mary is remembered for burning around 300 Protestants at the stake on her quest for religious reform. 

Sarah Mapps Douglas was an African American lecturer, writer, and fervent abolitionist. Douglas’ address, now commonly referred to as "Sarah Mapps Douglas Urges Support for the Anti-Slavery Cause", made in 1832, is essential Civil War-era rhetoric for the abolishment of slavery. As an address, it is also extremely historically important as one of the only public speeches on the subject made by a black woman.  

Frances D. Gage was one of the most significant figures in women’s history that the United States ever produced. Gage was a leading figure in feminism, reformation, and various human rights campaigns in the 19th century. She was also a passionate and vocal support of the abolitionist movement and it was regarding the fight for emancipation of the salves at the time that Gage made her Address to the American Equal Rights Association, delivered at the association’s first anniversary at the Church of the Puritans, New York in 1867. 

Matilda Joslyn Gage was an American suffragette, human rights activist, author, and icon. In 1890, she formed the Woman’s National Liberal Union, and at its founding convention, Gage delivered the speech "Dangers of the Hour". In this ardent and extensive address, Gage touches upon many of the goals she herself and the union aim for and the rights to which they believe all are entitled. Beyond equal rights for women, these also include religious freedom and equal rights for ethnic minorities.  

With work like "Religious Education and Contemporary Social Conditions", first published in 1911, it is no wonder American Nobel Peace Prize-winner, activist, philosopher, sociologist, and suffragette Jane Addams is known as the "mother" of social work. The social work Addams did, and the colossal steps she took in the name of world peace and human rights cannot be overstated, and "Religious Education and Contemporary Social Conditions" is among the work that helped cement this woman’s legacy.
