520			_a"The first major study of women and capital punishment, this book is a fascinating and critical study of the lives, crimes, trail and punishment of the fifteen women who were executed in England and Wales in the 20th century. Combining key biographical details with previously unpublished archive material, it expands the borders of existing feminist/sociological theory to reveal disturbing evidence of miscarrages of justice and unsafe convictions. The results is a highly readable and controversial book, which will be essential reading for sociologists and criminologists alike." - Front cover flap
