Professor Jacquelyn Troup gave a presentation about, “Writing bad woman back into history,” on Tuesday in honor of Women History Month.

The presentation focused on five main topics: fat women, mentally ill women, promiscuous women, women who kill serially (Greed), and women who killed as part of a team.

Throughout the lecture she focused on how these women were labeled deviant in society.

While giving her speech to a classroom full of students she stated that, “Women are at greater risk, than males, of being deviant.”

Men can get away with several sex partners, with the exception of Tiger Woods, and not be frowned upon in society.

Whereas women who have multiple sex partners are labeled as whores in society and are seen as being deviant.

She also went into greater details about each category giving examples of deviant women and their behavior.

“I think it was great. It was a good idea to talk about women who participate in deviant behavior, because it is overlooked. It’s an issue that needs to be addressed more often,” Brittani Hart, sociology major, said.

Troup said that, there have always been bad women in history and that people won’t find them in history books because, ” bad women aren’t worthy of being studied.”

Traditional history books would rather talk about the work that Harriet Tubman accomplished with slavery than women murders like Judias Buenoano.

Oralia Flores, psychology major, said, “I think it’s interesting. One point she pointed out is that women aren’t thought of as serial killers especially elderly women. Whenever I think of serial killers I think of a man.”
