While a lot of men kill out of sexual frustration, and the need to feel power over their victims, female killers are a lot more pragmatic in their motives, and methods. Female serial killers are outnumbered by males (15% to 85%), and they often use more covert methods like poisoning, or smothering. As a result, their killing sprees often go on for years longer (an average of 8 years, compared to 2 years for their male counterparts).
Don't underestimate a dangerous woman. And don't judge by appearances; evil can be pleasant and pretty on the outside. Just like poisoned candy.
