Women can commit acts of extreme and sadistic brutality. And those who do, are outcasts from society and from womanhood itself. Renowned clinical and forensic psychologist Anna Motz explores in depth the shockingly underexamined psychological underpinnings of female violence. Motz's daring book, bursting with humanity, makes clear that women's violence is more widespread than most realize, that these acts of violence expose deeply held, centuries-old beliefs about women and their value, and that these acts demand to be taken more seriously as a distinctive societal taboo that can - and must - be brought into the light.
