Aileen Wuornos was arrested after a yearlong killing spree that ended with seven men murdered. Wuornos's arrest sparked worldwide media frenzy. She was one of a rare breed - a female serial killer.

She was quickly labelled as the "Highway Hooker" or the "Damsel of Death." But in time, there were those who came to see her in a different light. Aileen Wuornos, some believe, is less a cold-blooded killer than a woman victimized so often during her tragic life, that she was finally driven to fight back.
