Emile Weaver seemed like the perfect college student--a studious, athletic, and popular sorority sister. So why did she kill her newborn baby? American Infanticide answers this question by situating Emile's tragic crime in a long intellectual and social history that reveals why our legal responses to infanticide are so deeply misguided.
Meyer and Oberman--in their desire to better understand mothers who kill--recount their interviews with women imprisoned for maternal filicide and reveal the collective themes that emerge from the women's individual accounts.
