Reviews

A Woman Condemned provides few conclusive answers about the trial, but while readers' intellectual curiosity may not be fully sated, the presentation of the labyrinthine early twentieth-century legal system requires those who study the book to think long and hard about how the system dispenses justice, and what unintended consequences result from extended criminal trials. Greiner argues that we cannot be certain of Anna Antonio's guilt or innocence, but the process that led to her execution was severely flawed." — The Strand
