Description
After Agatha: Women Write Crime explores how women from diverse backgrounds and experiences have contributed to the crime writing genre. From the UK's Golden Age women writers to American novelists, experimental trio Marcia Muller, Sara Paretsky, and Sue Grafton, this book examines the explosion of female voices in crime fiction.
It delves into the reasons behind women's fascination with crime novels, despite often featuring extreme violence, and analyzes why professionals from law enforcement to forensic science have turned to writing. The book highlights key figures who broke new ground with female police protagonists and characters representing diverse identities.
After Agatha also examines the rise of domestic noir thrillers and forensic science writers, many of whom use crime fiction as a platform to comment on social and political issues affecting women today.
