As of October 1, 2014 there were 57 women on death row. This constitutes 1.88% of the total death row population of 3,035 persons.
In the past 100 years, over 40 women have been executed in the U.S, including 15 since 1976. See, Women Executed in the U.S. Since 1900 for the date, state, race, and method of each execution.
In general, both the death sentencing rate and the death row population remain very small for women in comparison to that for men. Actual execution of female offenders is quite rare, with only 571 documented instances as of 12/31/2012, beginning with the first in 1632. These executions constitute about 2.9% of the total of confirmed executions in the United States since 1608.
