We haven't had a Women With Axes thread in awhile but I happened upon this last night.

Sorry if you got the impression I read the book. Should have put in an explanation and probably used a different image. This thread got me thinking about the women who worked in logging during wwii ("lumberjills") I think they deserve attention for their service and might be of interest for others. They were certainly hard working "Women With Axes".:)

No big deal I do not know that you did, it just looked interesting and was wondering if it was any good

Just stuff I found on the net.


The Black Widow Ax-Murderer
Eva Dugan was convicted of killing her fifth husband, Charlie, in Arizona back in the 1920’s. She, like others in this article, used an ax. Eva dismembered Charlie, then buried him in the desert. She was caught—I’m not sure how—and sentenced to hang. Eva became more famous in death because the hangman miscalculated and she was decapitated. They said Eva’s head came to a rolling stop in front of the witnesses, some of which fainted. The error led to Arizona adopting the gas chamber. The noose used to kill Eva Dugan is now on display at the Pinal County Historical Museum in Florence, Arizona.
