Crimes of passion, Caciquism, parricide, infanticide, hidden slaveryThirteen real life stories that sent shockwaves throughout Spanish society. Marisol Donis, criminologist and writer, tell us about 13 domestic servants who became headline news for the cruelty of their crimes in 19th century Spain. This was a century marked by the increase of crimes committed by servants, who were punished with the strictness of the laws of the time. The author looks at real stories of women who employed crime to impose their own form of justice on their masters. These are women who Hill believing that they have the right to murder. Servants who believe they have earned the right to do so. From the most publicized crimes of Higinia Balaguer and Cecilia Aznar to other women who killed to hide their shame or dishonour. You will learn about well-known crimes like that of Fuencarral Street or that of Luna Street in Madrid. Such cases will give us a better look at the relationship between masters and servants and between women and the justice system. Discover the executions in garrotte, prison conditions, the motives and alibis of these criminals, and the expert reports of the time will help the reader better understand many of the crimes that happen today. / A mediados del s. XIX los delitos cometidos por sirvientas tuvo un auge extraordinario. No había delito público ni privado en el que no se viera implicada alguna sirvienta y la opinión pública pedía castigar con rigor a las culpables. Aunque los tribunales, en ocasiones, eran más benévolos con las mujeres que con los hombres en los ""delitos de estatus"", solían castigarlas con todo rigor. Ahí está el ejemplo de Clara Marina, Higinia Balaguer, Vicenta Sobrino... Trece historias reales de sirvientas que mataron a sus amos, cada una con un móvil diferente. Mujeres que matan cuando se creen con derecho a matar, cuando piensan que se han ganado con creces esa satisfacción. Según ellas, imparten justicia. Algunas, seducidas por sus amos, tenían que prostituirse de forma encubierta dentro de la casa, para sacar un sobresueldo. Una explicación al comportamiento de estas peculiares asesinas podría ser que a sus amos les parecía normal anularlas y tratarlas como esclavas. Algunas tenían prohibido incluso casarse. El salario dependía de la voluntad del amo y trabajaban como bestias de carga por nada o por cama y comida.
