Solid book

Great book, interesting stories. My mother-in-law, however, was not in this book. Perhaps due to an editing error. I look forward to the unedited version

This was not for me, rather for my daughter. She loves it. It gives great context and provides lots of details of the lives of the women cited.

Fun read but not coffee table book

Super fun book, because of the material. Long chapters with few pictures make it not the best coffee table book.

Great stories. Lots of facts. Good photos/pictures. Easy reading. Sent a copy to a friend. Would love it if there was a volume two.

Interesting but not strongly written

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2019

I picked this book up because it is one of the few out there that mentions Ranavalona I, who I am currently researching, but I was deeply intrigued to read about the other wicked women in here – some of whom I’ve heard of and some who were new to me. It’s definitely a great introduction to several different “evil” women, but a lot of the entries read like something I could have looked up on Wikipedia. I was hoping for more in-depth ideas, or perhaps a more psychological look into the womens’ minds. The couple entries toward the end are longer, but often focus a lot on the men/partners involved more than what perhaps led the women into being a part of those horrid crimes.

The writing itself needed stronger editing; there were several typos, grammatical issues, and a constant use of passive voice that made these appalling crimes sound almost monotone at times. So overall, an interesting glimpse into these different wicked women in history, but the writing itself left me struggling to stay hooked at times. I didn’t know it was possible to use the word “sundry” so much in one book…I am thankful the author left notes in the back about her research into all the women so it serves as a great place for other books on the women and their historical time periods if you wanted to check out more about each person.
