I posted a picture book on this subject back in 2019 so when I saw My Own Words, by Ruth Baker Ginsberg I decided I needed to read it, too. It was amazing! She is a wise and witty author and I quite her enjoyed her insights (and opinions) on the law in opera, supreme court wives, her husband's cooking and so on. I'll admit I skimmed a bit on the chapters on the Supreme Court and how it functions, but everything else was of great interest. ;-)

Longer ago than I care to admit Constant Reader suggested the book Lady Killers: Deadly Women Throughout History, by Tori Telfer and I am just now getting around to reading it. It was excellent! Grim, yes, given the subject, but nicely researched and written with a touch a dark humor (the author freely admits to a rather bizarre sense of humor). There have been more female serial killers than you might think, and the author has suggestions as to why we continue to be surprised they actually exist.
