VBB 376 Elizabeth Flock: Justice or Murder, When Women Kill?

Elizabeth Flock is an Emmy award-winning journalist with bylines in the New Yorker, the New York Times, Foreign Policy, the Guardian, the Atlantic, and many other publications. She’s also an author who leads us through the dark, murky waters of women and vengeance. Her book, "The Furies: Women, Vengeance, and Justice,” unravels what happens when women are betrayed by systems set up to protect them. When, on average, 50,000 women and girls are killed by intimate partners or family members annually, often because police, courts, and politicians failed to act on complaints and protect them, sometimes justice for women becomes an act of desperate vengeance. It's said, Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned,” but when that fury isn’t just anger, and becomes deadly force, can it be justified, or forgiven? Elizabeth bravely explores the roots of systemic, societal, and familial betrayals that can erupt into deadly force.
