Historian Naomi Clifford discusses the stories of women sentenced to death in England during the late 1700s.

Throughout history, women have been convicted of crime, sometimes violent crimes, we know that. But most were not sent to the gallows. Historian Naomi Clifford decided to tell the story of the time period in England, 40 years beginning in the late 1700s, and the women who were given the death penalty. She tells me about their crimes, their defense…and their lives before their deaths. Her book is called: Women and the Gallows.  Support this podcast by shopping our latest sponsor deals and promotions at this link:  https://bit.ly/4gF2K18   See more information on my books: katewinklerdawson.com  Follow me on social: @tenfoldmore (Twitter) / @wickedwordspod (Facebook) / @tenfoldmorewicked (Instagram)  2026 All Rights Reserved  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
