Have you ever heard of inheritance powder? No? What about an elixir that drips straight from the bones of St. Nicholas? Not that one either? In the 1600’s you could call it whatever you want, as long as you keep it quiet. Thanks to the big brain work of women in Italy, quick trip to the apothecary is all you need to purchase your freedom from a life as property, I mean holy matrimony. In this episode, we reflect on the herstory of one of the world’s most alleged serial k*llers. She’s a legend in Italy and Miss Tofana if you’re nasty- Giulia Tofana.
