And for the first time in modern history, women are making their way into strategic positions of influence and leadership within the ministry, public, corporate, charity and voluntary sectors.

Book Description
A bold and uncompromising feminist manifesto that shows women and girls how to defy, disrupt, and destroy the patriarchy by embracing the qualities they’ve been trained to avoid. Seizing upon the energy of the #MeToo movement, feminist activist Mona Eltahawy advocates a muscular, out-loud approach to teaching women and girls to harness their power through what she calls the “seven necessary sins” that women and girls are not supposed to commit: to be angry, ambitious, profane, violent, attention-seeking, lustful, and powerful. All the necessary “sins” that women and girls require to erupt. Eltahawy knows that the patriarchy is alive and well, and she is fed the hell up: Sexually assaulted during hajj at the age of fifteen. Groped on the dance floor of a night club in Montreal at fifty. Countless other injustices in the years between. Illuminating her call to action are stories of activists and ordinary women around the world—from South Africa to China, Nigeria to India, Bosnia to Egypt—who are tapping into their inner fury and crossing the lines of race, class, faith, and gender that make it so hard for marginalized women to be heard. Rather than teaching women and girls to survive the poisonous system they have found themselves in, Eltahawy arms them to dismantle it. Brilliant, bold, and energetic, The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls is a manifesto for all feminists in the fight against patriarchy.

Book Description
Inspired by author Tori Telfer's Jezebel column “Lady Killers,” this thrilling and entertaining compendium investigates female serial killers and their crimes through the ages. When you think of serial killers throughout history, the names that come to mind are ones like Jack the Ripper, John Wayne Gacy, and Ted Bundy. But what about Tillie Klimek, Moulay Hassan, Kate Bender? The narrative we’re comfortable with is the one where women are the victims of violent crime, not the perpetrators. In fact, serial killers are thought to be so universally, overwhelmingly male that in 1998, FBI profiler Roy Hazelwood infamously declared in a homicide conference, “There are no female serial killers.” Lady Killers, based on the popular online series that appeared on Jezebel and The Hairpin, disputes that claim and offers fourteen gruesome examples as evidence. Though largely forgotten by history, female serial killers such as Erzsébet Báthory, Nannie Doss, Mary Ann Cotton, and Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova rival their male counterparts in cunning, cruelty, and appetite for destruction. Each chapter explores the crimes and history of a different subject, and then proceeds to unpack her legacy and her portrayal in the media, as well as the stereotypes and sexist clichés that inevitably surround her. The first book to examine female serial killers through a feminist lens with a witty and dryly humorous tone, Lady Killers dismisses easy explanations (she was hormonal, she did it for love, a man made her do it) and tired tropes (she was a femme fatale, a black widow, a witch), delving into the complex reality of female aggression and predation. Featuring 14 illustrations from Dame Darcy, Lady Killers is a bloodcurdling, insightful, and irresistible journey into the heart of darkness.

Book Description
Here is a bizarre journey into the world of women who kill for thrills, Thrill Killers Obsessions can take many forms: beauty, devotion, ego and power. Women kill their spouses, lovers and children for profit. Crimes of revenge are usually single acts of passion. But sometimes the female killer is driven by a deeper, smoldering anger. No one doubts a woman's capacity to love, but sometimes lust can turn lethal. When a deranged mind of a Deadly Woman snaps, there's no telling when the killing will stop. Even medicine can do a power of good but, in the hands of a Deadly Woman, Bad Medicine can be devastating. Women are more often prey than Predators, but the exceptions are Deadly Women indeed. Sometimes the innocence of childhood is swept away by dark thoughts and violent currents. In a childhood without love, a murderous urge can fill the vacuum. Money is the driving force behind many crimes, especially murder. These women would stop at nothing to get their hands on the cash they needed. Some killers are so troubled and so disturbed that their actions are almost impossible to comprehend. In the suburbs and in the office, the most terrifying killers in history went about their deadly work unnoticed. When sexual cravings are out of control, when desperation for love becomes all consuming, when illicit desire is thwarted by others... some women step outside the boundaries of society. Some women burn madly with jealousy, it becomes an anger so deep that they'll be prepared to kill to satisfy it.
