In these pages, the author has tried to bring to life some of the Canadian women sentenced to death and hanged for crimes through the centuries. Some were unjustly hanged. Thus all these women victims of the gallows can still proclaim their innocence beyond the tombstone, after centuries of silence. For, some of them are certainly entitled to convince us that they were, alas, victims of judicial errors and that their lives were unduly confiscated for the simple satisfaction of a vain Prosecutor who wished to build a prestigious career without the slightest failure. Others owe their execution to the carelessness of an inexperienced or inept lawyer. Bringing all these women out of oblivion was the best tribute the author could offer them, for all of them have suffered, and as such deserve our benevolent indulgence.
