About this book
Until well into the present century, and in the face of all existing statistics, there was a widely held belief reflected in scientific writings, literature, journalism and accepted folk knowledge that poison was a murder weapon almost excusively used by women (the 'weaker', 'gender determined' sex). The present study is discourse-theoretical and interdisciplinary in design. It draws on collections of causes célèbres, court records, scientific texts etc. pertaining to cases of killing by poison from various periods to show that (and how) such stereotypic ideas about women achieved currency, legitimation and self-perpetuation as a result of a constant, circular process of exchange and reference between the sources they stemmed from.
