Stories of women who used violence to fight abuse

Season 2024 Episode 31 | 8m 02s

In Greek and Roman mythology, the “Furies” are three goddesses who punish the wicked, delivering vengeance to an unfair and unlawful world. William Brangham talks with journalist Elizabeth Flock, a former NewsHour reporter and author of a new book that paints a portrait of three modern-day women who similarly used violence when they had no other option.
