The Lost Girls: A Re-Examination

In June 1954, Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme, two New Zealand teenagers, murdered Pauline’s mother. The murder shocked the nation and made headlines around the world. The girls were eventually convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.

The Parker-Hulme case has been the subject of numerous books, articles, and films over the years. However, most of these accounts have focused on the sensational aspects of the crime, such as the girls’ lesbian relationship and their alleged insanity.

**This book takes a different approach to the Parker-Hulme case. It examines the social and cultural factors that contributed to the murder, and it explores the girls’ lives before, during, and after the crime. The book also examines the legal and ethical issues raised by the case, and it discusses the case’s continued relevance today.**

**The Lost Girls** argues that the Parker-Hulme case was not simply a case of two evil or insane girls. It was a product of its time and place, and it reflected the social and cultural attitudes of the 1950s. The book also explores the ways in which the case has been used to perpetuate stereotypes about homosexuality, mental illness, and women.

**The Lost Girls** is a comprehensive and nuanced examination of one of the most notorious crimes of the 20th century. It offers new insights into the case and challenges the traditional narratives that have surrounded it for decades.

**This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the Parker-Hulme case, true crime, or the history of sexuality and gender.**
