Hello and welcome to A Murderess Affair, the podcast about women in history known for mayhem and murder. This week, we’re talking about a woman who recently made the news and then also a woman who caused a lot of mystery and chaos to many investigators-The Phantom of Heilbronn. There’s actually a little bit of a theme, without giving too much away. Listen to the podcast here: Follow me on social media: : :

Today we’re talking about not one, but two different women. Yes, it is a double episode today, of sorts. And the reason is because I went down a rabbit hole, as I tend to do, and I was originally going to just talk about one woman this happened to, but apparently it has happened to at least two within the past year. Now, there’s a website, which I’m not going to name directly but I promise it exists, that falsely advertises hitmen for hire. Something that started as a joke according to the “About” section, and yet has now been used multiple times to find people who actually...

Hello and welcome to A Murderess Affair, my name is Gabrielle and this is the podcast where we talk about women in history known for mayhem and murder. We’re continuing a theme of sorts, by talking about a woman who was mentioned last week as the arch-enemy of Kate Leigh. Any guesses? Tilly Devine, that’s who. Born Matilda Mary Twiss in September 1900, she was involved in a wide range of criminal activities. Sly grog, razor gangs, and prostitution just to name a few.

In the wake of the Roe v Wade decision, it is easy to feel hopeless, and angry. I wanted to make an episode that talked about the women who came before us, and how they fought against a system that was determined to deny them their basic human rights and access to healthcare. Today we're going to talk about the Jane Collective, the women who came before us who helped women in need obtain abortion and healthcare at a time where they could be tried for felony murder. About the recent Supreme Court decision, founder Heather Booth said, "It's certainly against the promise of this...

info_outlineIf you didn’t know, this month is Latinx Appreciation Month. It runs from September 15-October 15th and I figured I’d take advantage to use this time to talk about a woman from history that not many people may know about. A woman who was considered to be a trailblazer for many, a great teacher, and the woman who stared down a group of Texas Rangers and forced them to turn back from where they had planned on ransacking her work.
