The issues raised by this high-profile criminal case remain unresolved to this day. Women, even prostitutes, have the right to self-defense \u003cem\u003ein theory\u003c\/em\u003e, but in practice, the story is more complicated. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will challenge everything you ever thought about prostitutes, serial killers, and justice in America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAileen Wuornos is a damaged soul, a genuine American outlaw, a symbol of women's rage, a symbol of what can happen to severely abused children, and of how our justice system fails women.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChesler's involvement with a serial killer has haunted her ever since. She speaks in Aileen Wuornos' voice, as well as in her own, and delivers an incisive, original, and dramatic portrait of a cognitively impaired, traumatized, and alcoholic woman who had endured so much pain in her short life. When she'd had enough, the results were deadly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a poignant, sometimes humorous, never-before-told behind-the-scenes tale. Wuornos' story is handled with great sensitivity, but also with realistic detachment by Chesler as she probes the telling moment, the telling phrase. Was Wuornos suffering from post-traumatic stress after a life lived on a \"killing field?\" Was she also \"born evil?\" So many prostitutes have been torture-murdered by serial killers-how did Wuornos, once prey, become a predator? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRequiem for a Female Serial Killer\u003c\/em\u003e will also haunt you.
