The women in Nagyre¿v are desperate. They are suffering. ` They are being abused by their husbands. They are feeding their newborns to livestock. Midwife Zsuzsanna Fazekas first arrived at the village of Nagyre¿v, Hungary in 1911 to assist the impoverished women with abortions. She offered them a solution: arsenic, made of kitchen larder flypaper boiled with vinegar. But when they told her of the violence they suffered at the hands of their husbands, she concluded, "Why put up with them?" Nearly twenty years later, it had become an epidemic and spiralled into the greatest mass poisoning event of the 20th century. But it wasn't murder of their unborn children. It was the murder of their husbands. In THE WOMEN ARE NOT FINE we follow these women to the noose.
