Mothers Who Murdered is the result of extraordinary research and takes the reader into these mothers’ sad stories, their courtroom experiences, their families, and the prison where they were sentenced to hard labor. The subject is compelling; extensive research on over three dozen female murderers and the Maine State Prison at Thomaston across a fifty-year period. Female inmates obviously were given little attention, compared to the attention they received in court and in the press.
