Lizzie Borden - Trial of the Century

Lizzie Borden was suspected, arrested, tried and ultimately acquitted of a brutal murder, and that is why she is famous - or infamous. But her life is also an interesting insight into how middle-class American women lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She may have been found not guilty in court, but public opinion was very different - and the murder completely changed her life.Sources/Further ReadingSullivan, Robert: Goodbye Lizzie BordenRebellion, Leonard: Lizzie Borden, Past & PresentAxelron-Contrada, Joan: The Lizzie Borden Axe Murder Trial - A Headline Court CaseConforti, Joseph: How Lizzie Borden Got Away with Murder https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-lizzie-borden-got-away-with-murder-180972707/Last Will and Testament of Lizzie Borden https://phayemuss.wordpress.com/source-documents/ Hosted on Acast.
