Owner's Description
Crimes by Women #10 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 72. In this section of the SOTI, Wertham provides examples from his “Hookey Club” to demonstrate the deleterious effects that comic books have on children. The Hookey Club was a collection of chronically truant teenagers that Wertham assembled for group therapy. On page 72, Wertham provides an account from a 14 year old girl in the Hookey Club to demonstrate that the lessons children learn from crime comic books is how to avoid making mistakes when committing crimes rather than avoiding crimes in general: Q: Which comic books to you read mostly?A: Girls read mostly Crimes by WomenQ: Which crimes do women commit?A: Murder. They marry a man for his life insurance and then kill him, then marry another man and then just go on like that until they finally get caught. Or they will be a dancer and meet the wrong kind of a guy and get involved in a bank robbery.Q: What’s the fun for you in reading that?A: It shows you other people’s stupid mistakes.The story, as described by the 14 year girl, is contained in Crimes by Women #10 hence its reference as a SOTI book.
