Bloodthirsty Women in History
News of the Times Episode 242  | 1450 - 1905
In 1905, the question is asked in the papers: Are Women more Bloodthirsty Than Men?
This news article looks at several ruthless female killers in history and thre crimes they committed including murderers:
American Belle Gunness
French Jeanne Weber
American Jane Toppan
French Madame de Brinvilliers
Catherine de Medici
Kate Bender and more!
The question is an interesting one as we have heard from some of our subscribers their understanding that female serial killers were unusual.  We have not found this ourselves.
A question that still resounds today: Are women more bloodthirsty than men? Is today’s episode of Wicked Wednesdays.
We hope you enjoy the show!
Hosted by Robin Coles.
