There are actually quite a few books on this topic, but to name a few: Ezerbet Bathory, who recorded the slaughter of some 500 virginal servant girls whom she killed to bathe in their blood, as she believed it would prolong her life. Audrey Marie Hilley, who poisoned two husbands and her daughter with rat poison to obtain their life insurance policies. Aileen Wuornos, who murdered seven men in cold blood, for money or cars to bring back to her girlfriend. Agrippina the Younger, who had several people put to death so that her son, Nero, would become emperor. Mary the First of England, who had some 300 people burned at the stake so that she could restore England to a Catholic nation. She is also known as Bloody Mary. Mary Ann Cotton, who is believed to have killed between fifteen and twenty-one people, including her mother, four of her husbands, and several children and stepchildren, through arsenic poisoning. Marie Noe, who killed eight of her newly born infants (but only confessed to four) to gain attention from the media. Rose West, who helped her husband to keep and slaughter sex slaves in their home, then bury them in fields. Karla Homolka, who helped her husband to drug, rape, and murder her 19 yr old sister, as well as a few other young women. There are of course many other dispicable and evil women in our history, and there are certainly multitudes of books about them. Sadism is hardly a male-only trait.
