Femicide of the scientific literature. Feminist author Diana Russell narrows the definition of femicide to "the killing of females by males because they are female".

She also chooses to replace the word woman with female to show that femicide can occur to both girls and infants as well. Russell believes her definition of femicide applies to all forms of sexist killing, whether they be motivated by misogyny (the hatred of females), by a sense of superiority over females, by sexual pleasure, or by assumption of ownership over women.
