Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife, was imprisoned in the Tower of London on 2 May 1536, & tried & found guilty of high treason on 15 May. Her supposed crimes included adultery with five men, one her own brother, & plotting the King's death. She was executed on 19 May 1536. This title tells the story of Anne's fall. ...

Jane Grey’s tragedy was her royal blood. As Henry VIII’s great-niece she stood perilously close to the throne & from early childhood was used as a pawn in the deadly power game of Tudor politics.

Jane was not happy at home – she once famously remarked that she thought herself in hell in her parents’ company – & sought consolation in her studies & the uncompromising Protestantism fashionable in the l 550s.

When it became clear that her cousin Edward VI was dying she was forced into marriage with a son of the powerful John Dudley Duke of Northumberland & confronted with the news that the king had made her his heir.

So began her reign as the Nine Days Queen, leading to her imprisonment in the Tower & execution at the age of sixteen.

Alison Plowden reveals with insight & skill the complex intensity of the woman behind the myth, the brilliantly gifted child who was developing into a passionate, forceful young woman.

The narrative were 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.

Lady Killers, based on the popular online series that appeared on Jezebel & The Hairpin, disputes that claim & offers fourteen gruesome examples as evidence.

Though largely forgotten by history, female serial killers such as Erzsebet Bathory, Nannie Doss, Mary Ann Cotton, & Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova rival their male counterparts in cunning, cruelty, & appetite for destruction.
