Victim or Villain? The Complex World of Female Criminals in History and Murder Mystery Games

Throughout history, female criminals have often defied categorization. Were they victims of circumstance or empowered by their choices? This complex issue becomes even more intriguing when we examine specific cases, such as the habitual petty theft by impoverished women in 1925, or the infamous Forty Elephants gang, led by Alice Diamond in the 1920s. These women operated outside of societal norms, some driven by survival, others by ambition. Yet, societal narratives often push us to see them as either helpless victims or empowered rebels. Why is it so difficult to view female criminals with the same nuance as their male counterparts? Why can't they simply be seen as individuals making decisions in pursuit of their own gains?
