Answer 1

Annie Palmer a.k.a. The White Witch of Rose Hall. She was a beautiful but spoiled young white woman who arrived on the island of Jamaica as the wife of the owner of Rose Hall Plantation, east of Montego Bay. Annie's husband, and several husbands afterwards, all died suspiciously. Annie became known as a mistress of voodoo, using it to terrorize her slaves, while she took male slaves into her bed at night and subsequently murdered them. The legend has her dying during the slave uprisings of the 1830s.
People who go to visit say she haunts the property. Many photos have been mailed back to Rose Hall, showing ambiguous figures where there were none before.

This story was made popular by Herbert G. de Lisser in his 1928 novel The White Witch of Rosehall ...So captivating that many people (except those in Jamaica) believe it's urban legend.

Belle Gunness is an interesting one, she murdered several husbands, some men who worked for her and a few kids and just before she was caught killed her children and possibly faked her own death.
Lucretia Borgia is interesting, but it's almost all political slander. Mary Queen of Scots (Bloody Mary) was likewise beheaded, not for being a murderer, but for Elizabeth I's fear that she would attempt to seize the English throne.

I've never heard of any woman as famous as Hitler was. But, though much fewer than men, there are many female serial killers.
The most common method is poisoning their victims, about 80%. Money is also the most common reason.
There are many different types of female serial killers. You can find a lot of information at this site.

Answer 10

There is only one woman i know of...and that is Phoolan devi..

Phoolan Devi was born into a family in the small village of Gorha Ka Purwa, Uttar Pradesh, India. At 11 years of age she was married to a widower 20 years elder to her (or maybe three times her age) Her husband used to rape her and mistreat her. Later, he abandoned her and sent her back to her village. Her family also disowned her.

In the late 1970s, a gang of dacoits abducted Phoolan. The gang leader, Baboo, who was an upper-caste Thakur, wanted to rape her. One night when Baboo attempted to rape Phoolan, Vikram killed him and assumed the gang leadership. Phoolan became Vikram's second wife

The gang ransacked the village where Phoolan's husband lived. Phoolan stabbed her estranged husband, and dragged him in front of the villagers. Then, the gang left him laying near death by a road, with a note as a warning for old men who marry young girl.

Phoolan Devi was raped by many men in Behmai. After three weeks, she managed to escape with two other Mallahs from Vikram's gang, helped by a lower-caste villager. She gathered a gang of Mallahs, that she led with Man Singh, a member of Vikram's former gang. The gang carried out a series of violent robberies in north and central India, mainly targeting upper-caste people. Some say that Phoolan Devi targeted only the upper-caste people and shared the loot with the lower-caste people, but the Indian authorities insist this is a myth.

In 1996, Phoolan Devi ran for a seat in the Parliament as a Samajwadi Party candidate. During her election campaign, she was criticized by the women widowed in the Behmai massacre. Kshatriya Swabhimaan Andolan Samanvay Committee (KSASC), a Kshatriya organization, held a statewide campaign to protest against her.

Nevertheless, Phoolan Devi was elected as an Member of Parliament (MP). However, she proved ineffective as an MP[1]. She got a train stopped at unscheduled stops to meet her acquaintances in Uttar Pradesh. The railway minister, Ram Vilas Paswan played down the train incident and ordered only a nominal enquiry. Once, she visited the Gwalior jail (where she was imprisoned) to meet her former inmates. When the jail officers didn't let her in due to the visiting hours rules, she abused them. Later, a suspension order was issued against the jail officials involved in the incident, without any explanation[5].

In 1998, Phoolan Devi was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by some members of the British Parliament[6]. She lost a bid for re-election in 1998, but was returned to office the following year
