From the Paper
"While the murders can never be excused, the background to Aileen Wournos' life must also be taken into account. In the final analysis the story of the life of Aileen Wournos is in essence a sad and tragic story that is based in the need for love and affection. While this view can never be completely substantiated and there is every possibly that Aileen Wournos was a demented psychopathic killer, yet one also cannot help but wonder that if she had had a caring and compassionate childhood then possibly these murder might never have occurred. From this point of view the story of the life of Aileen Wournos is a story about more than a single individual but rather a tale that reflects the human condition, the need for love and affection and the tragic result that a lack of these basic requirements can have on human development."

Abstract
This paper presents a sociological review of the book, "Dead Ends: The Pursuit, Conviction and Execution of Female Serial Killer Aileen Wuornos, the Damsel of Death" by Michael Reynolds, which analyzes the various gender issues that surrounded Aileen Wournos. The paper then goes on to make the contention that Reynolds' book describes the often-masculine gender roles that Wuornos enacted during her trial, as well as in the details of her murders and that by understanding the media's perspective of the trial through Reynolds' perspective, we can see that there is often a biased negativity about Wuornos and her gender behaviors. While the paper asserts that Reynolds presents an accurate description of how Wuornos murdered her victims, and how the court proceeded with factual evidence in regards to the trial, the paper also suggests that that symbolic interaction theory plays a large role in how Reynolds, as an author and media proponent, offers a dismal view of women who do not act in accordance with socially acceptable gender behaviors.

From the Paper
" Aileen S. Kraditor discusses the history of the Woman Suffrage Movement form 1890 to 1920, the movement by which women agitated for and finally received the vote, something they had been denied in the original U.S. Constitution. The fact that women were omitted shows the nature of power relations between the sexes at that time in our history, and the resistance encountered to suffrage at the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries shows that little seemed to have changed. However, the women were able to make their point and bring about change. Kraditor specifically considers the role of the leadership of the movement and the ideas that motivated them and by which they motivated others. She begins from the view that the movement did not have a central ideology and instead involved a number of different ideas, approaches, and.."

Abstract
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."

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to introduce, discuss, and analyze the topic of serial killers. Specifically, it looks at Jeffrey Dahmer, Arthur Shawcross, Randy Craft, Aileen Wuornos, Bobbie Sue Terrell and Jane Toppan and explains their behavior from a psychological standpoint. It examines how they all meet specific psychiatric profiles and how serial killers have several commonalities that set them apart from the rest of the population.
From the Paper
"Aileen Wuornos also fits the pattern of a serial killer, as she believed her victims all deserved to die. So did Jeffrey Dahmer and Arthur Shawcross. Wuornos was a prostitute in Florida who killed seven victims after having sex with them. Unlike most of the other killers, she did kill for a motive; she wanted the victims' money. She, like the other killers, preyed on some of the most vulnerable people in society - men who wanted prostitutes, and, like many others, she was a sexual predator, killing after having sex. Dahmer and Kraft preyed on young men or homosexuals, Shawcross preyed on prostitutes, and Terrell and Toppan preyed on the elderly. All of these people had little or no defense, and so, they chose victims they knew they could dominate. "
