Thou Savage Woman uncovers the shocking true crime stories that captivated the public during the Tudor and Stuart eras—tales of traitorous wives, vengeful poisoners, and women who defied the rigid expectations of their gender through acts of unspeakable violence. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Adams explores how these crimes fascinated and terrified society, questioning why female killers have long been the subject of both horror and obsession.
