"This book studies early modern Spanish broadsheets, tabloid newspapers of the day which educated, entertained, and indoctrinated readers, much like today's "fake news. Parker Aronson incorporates a socio-historical approach in which she considers crime and deviance committed by women in Early Modern Spain and the correlation between crime and the growth of urban centers.""--
