It’s Corissa’s birthday this week, so we’re celebrating with a Thorny Rosies Episode!
Christiana Edmunds, the Chocolate Cream Poisoner, began a poisoning rampage in the late 1800s in England, after her affair with a local physician was cut short. Going so far as poisoning her paramour’s wife, local politicians, & HERSELF, she was eventually caught, but not before murdering a small boy.
Popular media has long depicted Ma Barker as the criminal mastermind behind the Barker-Karpis gang. However, her iconic status may have been sensationalized by the media & Hollywood in the aftermath of the Barker-Karpis reign of terror. Despite this controversy, Ma Barker has become an iconic figure in American popular culture, perpetuating her myth as one of the most notorious female gangsters in American history.
