THERE ARE NO FEMALE SERIAL KILLERS
This editorial challenges a misogynistic view, even in the context of murder, by presenting a collection of zines that counters a former FBI agent’s claim, “There are no female serial killers.” Despite numerous cases of female serial killers, they remain less recognised than their male counterparts like Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer. It can be described as a form of female representation that identifies why female serial killers are less recognised, delving into examples of their categorisation as “quiet killers” and their equally brutal crimes.
The zines present individual profiles in a simple, consistent structure while remaining sensitive to the content. Although most spreads follow the same format, some are adapted to highlight key details in each case.
