4 unusual facts about Eugenia Falleni


Mark Tedeschi

Part of the book describes this very complex and interesting trial, and Eugenia Falleni's life after her trial.

Tedeschi is the author of a true crime book called Eugenia, published in 2012 by Simon & Schuster, which tells the story of Eugenia Falleni, a woman of Italian and New Zealand background who lived in Australia as a man from 1898 until she was charged with the murder of her first "wife" in 1920.

In this book, Tedeschi describes the tortuous life that Eugenia Falleni led as a woman trying to lead life as a man in a society that did not understand such things.
