I was very disappointed when I received this book; I was expecting something more substantial. Although the text is well researched, it is more a compendium of facts about women and the death penalty, rather than a case study of individual women who have been executed. There are only a few captioned photos in the middle of the book, and you're left trying to guess who the women pictured on the jacket were. Instead of buying this I would strongly suggest Texas Death Row, which has photos and facts about every executed man, and is much less.

WOW! this was an excellent book. Dr. Gillespie is very experienced and has researched a lot in order to write this astonishing book. even if you aren't intrested in this subject you will find yourself reading and loving this book. i recommend this book to everyone. you can learn a lot of useful intresting information. Great Job Dr. Gillespie!!

This book is by far the best and most informational book i have ever read. The author obviously has done a lot of research and really knows what he is talking about. If you are intrested in crime at all I strongly recommend this book. It couldn't have been written or researched better!
