See all formats and editions

In the last four decades of the Georgian era 131 women went to the gallows.

What were their crimes? And why, unlike most convicted felons, were they not reprieved?

This volume brings new insights into their lives and the events that led them to their deaths, and includes chapters on baby murder among domestic servants, counterfeiting, husband poisoning, as well as the infamous Eliza Fenning case.
