Description
The Mysterious Case of the Victorian Female Detective by Sara Lodge Recover the forgotten lives of the women who investigated Victorian Britain, working both with the police and for private agencies. Sara Lodge sheds light on the lives of these pioneering female detectives, who played a significant role in shaping the country's justice system. In this book, Lodge reveals the complex and often contradictory world of Victorian female detectives, who were both unacknowledged labourers and feminist icons. She explores the intersection of reality and fiction, where the exploits of real women detectives sometimes diverged from those of their fictional counterparts.
