'Evil Women'

My new project is a history of 'Evil Women'

I am currently writing a history of women who have been labelled 'Evil'. They include Myra Hindley, Rose West, Karla Faye Tucker, Karla Homolka, Aileen Wuornos -- and more! Why are some women called 'evil'? What is the place of 'evil' in the modern world? Are women who have inflicting atrocious harms on other people treated differently from men who have committed similar acts?
