When you think of serial killers throughout history, the names that come to mind are ones like Jack the Ripper & Ted Bundy. But what about Tillie Klimek, Moulay Hassan, Kate Bender?

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.
