Serial Killer Myth #3: They Are All Men
Female serial killers exist, and they’re as lethal as males.

Content: Prior to Wuornos, the mass media almost always depicted a serial perpetrator as a man, largely due to the erroneous and paternalistic societal notion that women could not commit such crimes. I believe that Wuornos rose to infamy because she was atypical of female serial killers. Ironically, she became a celebrity monster and popular culture icon because she killed like a man. I offer many other shocking insights into the minds and actions of deranged serial predators in my new book Why We Love Serial Killers which will be released by Skyhorse Press on October 7. Pre-order my book now, save 20%, and you won't pay until it ships in October. Click to order: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1629144320/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_B-2Stb0D57SDB

Women don't use overtly violent ways to kill thier

like posion or drugs.
