Shelley Dziedzic - Author of "Miss Lizzie Paper Dolls"
When the Borden house on Second Street opened as a bed and breakfast in 1996, it was an unimaginable thrill for Shelley to begin work at the historic home as an evening tour guide, sharing the Borden story with thousands over eighteen years . Now in retirement, Shelley and her daughter Hollie, a graphic designer and artist, have founded Hollister Press to share their fascination with the Borden case and true crime of the Victorian era with a collection of nonfiction publications and novelties.
Kimbra Eberly - Author of “Inadmissible - The case of Lizzie Borden and Other murderous women The story of Lizzie Borden revolves around one of the most sensational unsolved crimes in American history. Andrew and Abby Borden, Lizzie’s father and stepmother, were killed in a horrifying double axe murder. Their violent deaths occurred in the nineteenth century, at a time when women were ruled by the heavy hand of patriarchy, and still had no legal rights. Also in this era, the Women’s Suffrage movement emerged as a powerful force that began to shift society toward greater freedom and legal protections for women. As I looked deeply into the Borden case, I discovered numerous murderous women in the Victorian era whose circumstances echoed elements of Lizzie’s story. They, too, struggled with harshly restrictive laws and cultural norms that deprived them of so much. Did these unendurable pressures and expectations drive all of them to murder?
