Paper Summary:

This paper explains that, while men were certainly the majority of the perpetrators of serial killings, the women who were documented performing such crimes were just as violent and ingenious. It provides examples of the cases of Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Bathory, the Black Widows of Liverpool, Aileen Wuornos, and Karla Homolka.

From the Paper:

"The notion of female serial killers often appears as the minority of cases in the history of serial murder and serial killers. It's as if there is a part of society that refuses to believe that women are just as capable of mass murder as some of the more horrific murderers of our time. Still, while we may not, off the top of our head, be able to list as many female serial killers as we can male ones, it is but a myth that female serial killers are far and few between."
