Myth & legend told as fiction
Women who Kill
by Sylvia Arvizu
Description
The author spent 15 years in prison. She interviewed most of her inmates about the crimes for which they were imprisoned for, selected the best stories, and narrated them as brilliant true crime stories told during their everyday life of imprisonment. At the same time, she shows how commiting a crime was the only way to escape from an oppresing living conditions. Every story dives into the human condition and its social restrains, in magnificent story-telling techniques not exent of a sour sense of humour.
