Some women choose to profit from a permanent separation when they fall out of love with their spouses.

These hard-hearted women prove how callous they are when they commit unspeakably monstrous acts against other people.

A woman shoots her ex-husband to death in front of their children; a scorned lover takes revenge on a rival; a sex addict stomps on others when they get in her way.

For these women, one good man wasn't enough. A middle-aged woman used looks to prey on elderly gentleman and an army wife didn't want a soldier but a squad.

Being 'the other woman' is a lonely life. A call girl craves the high life, a teen mum eradicates her rival, and a lesbian love affair rips a family apart.

Some women must always get their way. A seductress has men and women under her spell, a churchgoer finds a new form of faith, and a matriarch rules with an iron rod.

For some women, a fun-loving nature masks a rage that turns lethal when they're crossed, and it turns into murder.

Some women think that when it comes to murder, two minds are better than one. They are the masterminds, but don't want to get their hands dirty.

Driven by an overwhelming sense of revenge, greed and pride, these women turn on their own and strike out at family members.
