In this episode, Em and Caz take a closer look at women who kill, and ask why murderous women inspire so much fascination and fear. They draw on some contemporary cases of women killers to see if these can shed any light on the biblical character of Judith, whose bloody murder of Holofernes marked her out as both a lethal woman and a biblical hero. Diving into the gendered stereotypes that shape contemporary understandings of homicidal women, Caz and Em explore why they find women like Judith both intriguing and terrifying.
