Yes, in the United States women can be executed under the death penalty. In the past 100 years, over 40 women have been executed in the U.S., including 11 since 1976. As of June 30, 2009 there were 53 women on death row. This constitutes 1.6% of the total death row population. Karla Faye Tucker was put to death in 1998, and was the first person to be executed in the United States since 1984, and the first in Texas since 1863. Because of her gender and widely-publicized conversion to Christianity, she inspired an unusually large national and international movement advocating the sentence of life imprisonment.
