Description: A genre-bending feminist account of four Chilean women who committed the double transgression of murder, violating not only criminal law but also the invisible laws of gender. Women Who Kill analyzes four shocking homicides carried out by Chilean women over the course of the twentieth century. Law-graduate-turned-writer Alia Trabucco Zerán introduces us to these shadowy yet captivating women, foregoing sensationalized portrayals and instead highlighting the violence enacted against them, both before and after they committed their crimes. This radical inversion reveals another narrative, one as disturbing and provocative as the transgressions themselves: how society, the media, and the political establishment reacted to these women who decisively broke from the passive domestic life that was reserved for them. Expertly intertwining true crime narrative, critical essay, and research diary, International Booker Prize finalist Alia Trabucco Zerán (The Remainder) brings a provocative feminist perspective to the study of female transgression.
