Ganador del British Academy Book Prize in 2022 y finalista del National Book Award in Criticism 2022 Cuatro chilenas que, a lo largo del siglo veinte, cometieron impactantes homicidios protagonizan los casos que la escritora Alia Trabucco Zer�n investig� durante a�os para escribir estos ensayos que trazan un relato inquietante y provocador: el de c�mo la sociedad, los medios y el poder reaccionaron frente a estas criminales que rompieron, violentamente, con el lugar dom�stico y pasivo que se les ten�a reservado. Un libro que, con una prosa concisa y reflexiva, cuestiona radicalmente aquello que hemos asumido como normal. �En un momento en que el feminismo se ha tomado las calles para denunciar las dimensiones epid�micas de la violencia de g�nero, el por qu� escribir ahora sobre mujeres asesinas no es una pregunta trivial�, se plantea Alia Trabucco Zer�n, y la b�squeda de una respuesta es justamente lo que subyace en estas p�ginas sutiles e inteligentes, en las que las narraciones de los cr�menes dialogan con un texto ficcional y, tambi�n, con los diarios que la autora llev� mientras investigaba y donde quedan planteados los obst�culos y dilemas a los que se enfrent� al abordar un tema tan inc�modo como revelador. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION British Academy Book Prize in 2022 and was a finalist of the National Book Award in Criticism 2022 A genre-bending feminist account of the lives and crimes of four women who committed the double transgression of murder, violating not only criminal law but also the invisible laws of gender. When Women Kill: Four Crimes Retold analyzes four homicides carried out by Chilean women over the course of the twentieth century. Drawing on her training as a lawyer, Alia Trabucco Zer�n offers a nuanced close reading of their lives and crimes, foregoing sensationalism in order to dissect how all four were both perpetrators of violent acts and victims of another, more insidious kind of violence. This radical retelling challenges the archetype of the woman murderer and reveals another narrative, one as disturbing and provocative as the transgressions themselves: What makes women lash out against the restraints of gendered domesticity, and how do we--readers, viewers, the media, the art world, the political establishment--treat them when they do?
