Les Femmes qui tuent et les Femmes qui votent

The collection examines cases of women who commit violent acts and situates those acts within the social and legal inequalities facing women, arguing that a law shaped by male interests and the absence of accessible divorce or legal remedies can produce desperation and criminal response. The writer rebuts opponents who claim divorce would be abused, explaining that realistic divorce legislation would not permit casual repudiation by men and could instead offer protection to injured women. Combining courtroom reportage, moral reflection, and polemic, the essays call for legal reform and invite readers to see public sympathy for female perpetrators as evidence of systemic failure.
