From 1726 to 1955, Women and the Noose explores the history of female crime and execution, presenting the cases of over fifty women who met their end on the hangman's gallows. The book delves into the criminal act, the execution day, and the range of crimes punishable by execution, including petty theft and murder. It also discusses the reactions to the death sentence, such as pleading the belly as a defense. Richard Clark also discusses the developments in execution methods, from burning at the stake to the short-and long-drop, and the move from public hangings to private events.
