The Champion Black Widow Serial Killers

So far, about 316 cases of Black Widows who have murdered two or more husbands have been collected by The Unknown History of MISANDRY. Following is a list of the “Champion Black Widows”: those who murdered (or attempted to murder) four or more husbands.

It is worth nothing that all but one of the cases dating from after 1920 are known to historians of serial killers none of the seven dating from 1886 to 1912 have ever been listed before. These cases have been forgotten, wiped from history, despite half a century of generous funding for women’s studies – forgotten ... until now.
