Canadian Female Killers

The Women History Tried to Bury, and the Crimes We Refuse to Forget

By: Kennedy Rowe

Narrated by: Andrew Cortes

Canadian Female Killers is a chilling, unforgettable journey through the shadows of Canadian history, one woman at a time.

From whispered legends of 18th-century poisoners to modern medical murderers hiding in plain sight, this book uncovers thirty-eight haunting cases of Canadian women who took lives. Some were abused. Some were mentally ill. Some were cold, calculating, and cruel. But all of them force us to confront what happens when society refuses to see suffering or fears what it cannot explain.

Spanning centuries, provinces, and motives, Canadian Female Killers explores infanticide, domestic homicide, serial murder, and more — not through sensationalism, but with compassion, depth, and fearless questioning. What drove them to kill? What systems failed them and their victims? And how does our justice system treat women who step outside the lines of expectation and into bloodshed?

Combining historical research, psychological insight, and cultural reflection, this book is not just a true crime collection.

Let these stories disturb you. Let them teach you.

And let them remind you that violence is never only about the moment it erupts, it’s about everything that led up to it.
