Sapphic Slashers

Sex, Violence, and American Modernity

Beschreibung

In 1892, in the broad daylight of downtown Memphis, Tennessee, a middle class woman named Alice Mitchell slashed the throat of her lover, Freda Ward, killing her instantly. Local, national, and international newspapers, medical and scientific publications, and popular fiction writers all clamoured to cover the ensuing "girl lovers" murder trial.
