The book Female Serial Killers by Peter Vronsky is of course about female serial killers. This book goes in to the deep and dark minds of those who have killed and what got them to those points. Vronsky talks to experts, detectives, mass murderers, and anyone with possible information on serial killers.
At first Vronsky wanted to right a book a male serial killers until he found the the fact that one out of every six serial killers is a woman. Many people do not even think of women when they hear "serial killer". Vronsky also did not when he was finding information on male serial killers and later found out that he interviewed a few female serial killers. It was soon found out that people (women and men) do not consider women when it comes to serial killers because people often vision that, "... women are victims and males are collectively oppressors" (Vronsky 9). This stereotype is often why victims of female serial killers do not see the attacks coming. Most people could never see their mother, a nurse, or baby sister attacking them while they are most vulnerable. This all convinced Vronsky to change his topic for a book on only female serial killers.
In Female Serial Killers, Vronsky often compares the female serial killers back to the males. This is to show how much better the females are at the crimes that they commit and why they get away with these crimes for either a long time or forever. Vronsky also talks about the many different definitions of a serial killer and often how women fit into all of them. The further into the book that one goes the more that one learns and can see why female serial killers stay under the radar.
