As an considerable contrast, The Thing She Loves has a more gruesome human-interest angle, and is less easy to read. In this book, several women writers examine various aspects of Australian female killers. She Loves it took about 45 minutes to talk me down. The problem I had was that until the last chapter, in which Greenwood sums up the book and offers some strategies, the book reads like a catalogue of insurmountable difficulties. Women have had it tough in the past.
Women still do, some more than others.
Now there's a proverb. But I know women who do it. Studies are, of course, just opinion. You never, apparently, have quite enough. This is not a deep psychological reason for killing, it's material.
