Aileen Wuornos
Arguably the most notorious female serial killer in the States, Death Row inmate Aileen was executed by lethal injection in 2002. She was convicted of murdering seven men between 1989 and 1990; she claimed each of them had either raped her or attempted to. Aileen was the subject of film Monster, starring Charlize Theron, and documentary Aileen: Life And Death Of A Serial Killer. Both are unmissable accounts of what was undeniably a troubled, traumatic life.
