		<description>Nice article.  I feel one very important one is missing from this list.  Jane Toppan is more than just a female serial killer.  She was calm, collected, smart, and she derived a sexual thrill from it and it never involved money.  She simply had the ambition to &quot;kill more people than any man or woman whoever lived&quot;.  She wasn&#039;t crazy.  She messed with people&#039;s heads, nervous systems, bodily functions &amp; organs.  A really fascinating case.

Also, someone commented about testosterone.  Although this may have something to do with murders &amp; killing sprees, testosterone has absolutely nothing to do with serial killers and mass murderers.

Other fascinating stories would be:

Vera Renczi: Obsessed w/ jealousy
Maria Swanenberg: Good Mie
Darya Saltykova: The Noble Torturist
Elizabeth Bathory: The Blood Countess

...and lastly, one that fits this list very well...

Miyuki Ishikawa: A Japanese midwife that is estimated to have killed over 100 babies through neglect during WWII.</description>

		<description>For god&#039;s sake. Everyone whines and bitches &quot;I don&#039;t know how a woman could possibly doooo thiiiissss!&quot;, but when a man offs his wife/girlfriend or his own children/relatives or other men, it&#039;s not really all that outside the box. 
A guy kills and brutally rapes 15 women and we hardly bat an eye anymore. A woman kills her baby and suddenly it&#039;s this sensational, unbelievable news. It&#039;s a crock of shit if you ask me and it doesn&#039;t benefit anyone to be desensitized to male violence and in denial to female violence.</description>

		<description>My favorite example of punishment is what happened to Marti. When even your cellmates think you&#039;re an evil monster who must be stopped, you done messed up.</description>

		<description>Someone asked whether technically these women were serial killers as opposed to mass murdereres. The answer, simply, is yes. Mass murder is the killing of at least 4 people at the same time and location, whereas serial killers have multiple victims but different times and locations with rest periods between killings. Spree killers are similar to serial killers, but lack the periods of rest.</description>

		<description>look up Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova also.  Her victim count was over 100.  She was a Russian noblewoman who murdered serfs.</description>

		<description>What about Elizabeth Bathory?  The most prolific female serial killer in history, and possibly the cruelest person who ever lived, she killed about 612 people.  Find a male serial killer who murdered that many.</description>

		<description>These are so disturbing on so many levels. I can&#039;t believe some of the things these women did, especially those involving kids. They should all have gotten life in prison, without any parole, ever!</description>
