EXECUTED 4: Every Woman Executed In The USA Since 1900

by Matthew Kell Taylor

Between 1900 and 1928, the gallows, and the electric chair claimed the lives of a series of women across the United States, each one a story steeped in desperation, violence, and controversy. Executed 4 Every Woman Executed In The USA Since 1900 is the final volume in the acclaimed “Executed” series exploring the rarely told histories of American women condemned to death. From small-town scandals to crimes that captivated the nation, these cases reveal shifting social attitudes toward gender, justice, and morality in a rapidly modernizing world. Drawing from court records, newspaper archives, and eyewitness accounts, this book traces the paths of women whose lives ended at the hands of the law and asks what their fates tell us about the society that judged them. Their names are nearly forgotten, but their stories still echo from behind prison walls and execution chambers across the country.
