summary
Women Who Kill, Anne Jones’s classic analysis of female violence, contributed to greater understanding of the battered woman’s syndrome and explores the connections between domestic violence and women's violence. The new edition adds material on soldiers returing from service in Iraq and Afghanistan, post traumatic syndrome and intimate violence, while adding notorious new cases to an extraordinary history of crime and punishment.
