    Introduction -- On the page.

Increasingly monstrous representation of real female killers in American cinema : I want to live! (Robert Wise, 1958) and Monster (Patty Jenkins, 2003) -- "Ki-ki-ki Ma-ma-ma" : maternal virtue and Mrs. Voorhees -- Women on death row : documentary film and the cultural politics of identity -- Lethal ladies : the stars of John Waters' Female trouble and Serial mom -- The birth of the female youth rampage shooter -- Women who kill : Law & order, Dexter & The wire -- On the stage. Killing a husband : Alice Arden and her accomplices on the early modern stage -- "There's so much I want to tell her" : Sophie Treadwell's Machinal and the transference of femininity -- Sheila's deposition, 1997 -- Another day in court : women playwrights -- The murdering mother in Marina Carr's plays. This collection examines the meaning, construction and deconstruction of the murdering woman. These essays suggest that the ways in which gender, race, class and sexuality play into representations of women murderers is key to understanding the patriarchal underpinnings of our judicial system as they apply to women criminals
