"This book examines a number of high-profile criminal cases, from the Whitechapel murders of the 1880s to the Children's Home scandals of the present day, which have had particular impact on women. It explores plays and government reports; whodunnits and funeral rituals; novels and pictures; criminology and memoirs; stories by survivors and famous trials; feminist polemic and The Mousetrap. It examines how women are written about, as victims, as criminals, and as investigators, and how they write themselves."--BOOK JACKET.
