The criminal history of Yorkshire has its share of nasty and brutal murders and the majority of these killers have been men. Statistics show that most homicides are men. But the records over the centuries have tales of women killers and in these tales the murders are often cases of poisoning. Stephen Wade has investigated records across the country to find out stories of women in the years between the middle of the eighteenth century and the mid twentieth century who have taken lives through jealousy, hatred or sheer desperation. Some of the tales are sad, melancholy accounts of infanticide committed in hard times often when women were under terrible stress and suffering from poor health and mental problems. Other stories are about murders that took away an unwanted partner or brought some easy money to the killers pockets.Beneath the murder stories there are tales of courtroom trials that went wrong and false accusations, along with verdicts that sent women to Van Diemans...

T his book has not been easy to research. Some of the Victorian cases are very obscure and there is sparse material at times. Reference libraries and archive staff have been very helpful. Staff at the Brynmor Jones Library, University of Hull and at County Hall, Beverley, have also been very helpful, particularly Lizzy Baker.
As many cases involve infanticide, some sources have been academic studies rather than primary material, and books by David Bentley and John Eccleston have been invaluable. Some stories have had to be handled with tact and sensitivity, notably the tragic account of the Castles in Driffield and the brief notes on Avril Gregory; the full story of the latters offence has been told in Killers by Kate Kray. Although my main chapters end with the 1980 story of the Maws, I wanted to mention some more recent stories, albeit briefly, so these have been included in the final chapter, though in no depth.
There are also the related topics of feminist perspectives on crime and for this I needed some conversations with various writers and academics. I have tried to incorporate some of these contemporary lines of thought into the cases, notably in the inclusion of modern medical knowledge in the cases of child murder.
