Michele Anderson : The Carnation Murders

This week I'm talking about not one, not two, but THREE women who committed crimes on Christmas Day. Spoilers: One of them involves a ceramic squirrel. Let's talk about Jasmine Jackson, Randi Young, and Helen Ann Williams who were all arrested for some pretty humbug-ish behavior this holiday.  Buy some merch! frumiousreads.com/shop Follow/Subscribe to the podcast wherever you listen!

Our first murderess of the week is Melissa Young, a transgender Scotland native who was arrested for murdering her neighbor because he, apparently, hated his gift. Some gifts are literally to die for. Or kill for, in this case. Buy our merch: frumiousreads.com/shop Check out our home page: frumiousreads.com/a-murderess-affair

Happy Thanksgiving!! Due to some technical difficulties, I was unfortunately unable to upload this episode when I wanted (curse you computer), but I hope you all enjoy it anyway! If possible, I'll try to get a bonus episode up this weekend for y'all!  Our murderess of the week was declared responsible for a series of poisonings that rocked a tiny village in Nagyrev, Hungary. A series of poisonings so prominent, that the multiple women involved were known as “The Angel Makers” of Nagyrev. And even though there were many, many different women guilty of poisoning husbands, children, parents, or anybody even remotely annoying, one woman’s name stands out as the overall instigator. Suzanna(Julia) Fazekas.

Today we're covering Mexican revolutionary Petra Herrera, who also went by “Pedro”. She was an active participant of the Mexican Revolution under the leadership of Francisco “Pacho” Villa. When she was outed as a woman, removed of her military rank and status, she formed her own militia of women with members between 400-1000 who would fight alongside the men in battle.  Let me know what you think of this episode!

Happy almost Halloween!! I seriously cannot wait to celebrate my favorite holiday of the year. And what better way to celebrate throughout the month than by talking about a Russian noble who murdered many of the servants working there as a twisted sort of revenge for her lover having an affair with another woman. Her name was Darya Nikolayevna Saltykova.

Otillie “Tillie” Klimek was born on October 22nd 1877 in Poland. She was considered to be a “psychic”, predicting the deaths of the people around her with astounding accuracy. Almost a little too accurate, as it turned out. Let's talk about Tillie Klimek and her much less heard of cousin Nellie, who were responsible for the deaths of over 10 people.  Shop merch here: frumiousreads.com/shop

If you didn’t know, this month is Latinx Appreciation Month. It runs from September 15-October 15th and I figured I’d take advantage to use this time to talk about a woman from history that not many people may know about. A woman who was considered to be a trailblazer for many, a great teacher, and the woman who stared down a group of Texas Rangers and forced them to turn back from where they had planned on ransacking her work.
