On Death Row in Florida is a female serial killer. Nicknamed the "Damsel of Death" by the media, Aileen Wuornos was arrested in January 1991 and cofessed to murdering seven men.

At 11 she prostituted herself for cigarettes and money, at 13 she became pregnant and was thrown into a detention centre. At 15 she shot herself in the stomach and at 32 she killed her first man. Her prey became the white male - rejected, abused and alienated she finally hit back.
