Bad Girls. Dracula in a Skirt, the Blair Witch, the Nun from Monza, and Literary Villains

From childhood, we see negative characters among men in literature. But what about women? They can be witches. But if Cruella de Vil is one of the most memorable female characters in Disney, Bellatrix Lestrange is the main beauty in the Harry Potter saga, and the nun from Monza impresses the most in Manzoni's novel "The Betrothed", then "evil" is necessary at least to get acquainted with it...

Before you is a whole gallery of portraits with illustrations by the popular Italian artist Loputin: Salome and Mary Ann Cotton, Alice Kyteler and Lucretia Borgia, Bloody Mary, Anne Boleyn, and other famous "bad girls" of world literature and history known for their cunning. They committed evil, seized power, sought revenge, pursued justice, and loved passionately.
