Ruthless murderer Lizzie Borden, deadly dancer Mata Hari, and all-American outlaw Bonnie Parker are women not just bad or evil, but downright wicked. In this fascinating look at these larger-than-life legends, along with a posse of eight others, <I>The Devil Inside Her</i> explores the allure of these wicked women and how their exploits have taken on a life of their own. It also looks at how they continue to thrive as pop culture icons.
The murderous deeds of these women — both real and imagined — have become legendary, leaving us both enthralled and terrified. From bandits to killer queens, from spies to gunslingers, the women profiled here come from all walks of life and include bandit queen Phoolan Devi, Countess Dracula Erzsebet Bathory, voodoo priestess Marie Laveau, pirate of the Caribbean Anne Bonney, the Dragon Lady of China Cixi, wild west rebel Belle Starr, the black widow Lucrezia Borga, and the bloody despot Mary Tudor. Many died violent deaths; some just slipped out of history's grasp. Few were understood in their time or even after their deaths, but all are unforgettable. <I>The Devil Inside Her</i> captures the mystique of these misunderstood, transgressive and world's most wicked women.
