Women convicts were often treated differently from men, with accusations of witchcraft particularly popular during certain eras, in both England and America. Women were not spared capital punishment, though, or transportation and forced labor. Listed here are a few primary and secondary sources, some first hand accounts, of women and crime. You will also find criminal trials of women in the criminal trials reports, listed earlier in this finding aid. Also, look under "women prisoners", and "female offenders" in the subject section of the library catalog.
