Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Detective in Petticoats: A Comedy in Three Acts, for Female Characters Only Scene. - Mrs. Warrington's dressing-room. Mrs. Warrington seated at dressing-table R., dressed for a ball. Maid is doing her hair. Octavia on sofa L., front, reading, in tea-gown. Bookcase above her. Mrs. W. How slow you are to-night, Mary. It must be time to go. Octavia, do leave off reading just one moment, and see if Jack is ready. (Exit Octavia, still reading, R.)How can she be so absorbed in that awful book? Why, the words themselves make me so dizzy, that I have never found out whether they mean anything or not. Enter Octavia R. Oct. Jack says that the less often he is interrupted, the sooner he will be ready. (Seats herself again, reading.) Mrs. W. Why, what nonsense! (Runs to door R. and calls.) Jack, you declared you'd be dressed first, and now I've got to wait for you half an hour, I suppose, with nothing whatever to do. What? Well, why shouldn't I be excited? Besides, I'm not a bit excited to-night. I dare say it will be a great bore. We want to go early, so we can come home early, and receive the baroness. How soon will you be ready, Jack? Fifteen minutes? Oh, dear, do hurry! Who, I? Oh, I'm almost ready. (Runs back and sits.) Finish as quickly as you can, Mary. Oct. Don't you want me to read this chapter while you are waiting? Mrs. W. What a good idea! I was wondering how I ever could get time to finish it. I don't know how I could get along without you, Octavia, to keep me up with the movement of the age.

Book excerpt: A lively exploration of the struggles faced by women in law enforcement and mystery fiction for the past 175 years In 1910, Alice Wells took the oath to join the all-male Los Angeles Police Department. She wore no uniform, carried no weapon, and kept her badge stuffed in her pocketbook. She wasn’t the first or only policewoman, but she became the movement’s most visible voice. Police work from its very beginning was considered a male domain, far too dangerous and rough for a respectable woman to even contemplate doing, much less take on as a profession. A policewoman worked outside the home, walking dangerous city streets late at night to confront burglars, drunks, scam artists, and prostitutes. To solve crimes, she observed, collected evidence, and used reason and logic—traits typically associated with men. And most controversially of all, she had a purpose separate from her husband, children, and home. Women who donned the badge faced harassment and discrimination. It would take more than seventy years for women to enter the force as full-fledged officers. Yet within the covers of popular fiction, women not only wrote mysteries but also created female characters that handily solved crimes. Smart, independent, and courageous, these nineteenth- and early twentieth-century female sleuths (including a healthy number created by male writers) set the stage for Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple, Sara Paretsky’s V. I. Warshawski, Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta, and Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Millhone, as well as TV detectives such as Prime Suspect’s Jane Tennison and Law and Order’s Olivia Benson. The authors were not amateurs dabbling in detection but professional writers who helped define the genre and competed with men, often to greater success. Pistols and Petticoats tells the story of women’s very early place in crime fiction and their public crusade to transform policing. Whether real or fictional, investigating women were nearly always at odds with society. Most women refused to let that stop them, paving the way to a modern professional life for women on the force and in popular culture.

Download or read book Before Sherlock Holmes written by LeRoy Lad Panek and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, the history of detective stories as a literary genre begins in the 19th century with the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Emile Gaboriau and a handful of other writers. The 19th century was actually awash in detective stories, though many, like the so-called detective notebooks, are so rare that they lay beyond the reach of even the most dedicated readers. This volume surveys the first 50 years of the detective story in 19th century America and England, examining not only major works, but also the lesser known--including contemporary pseudo-biographies, magazines, story papers, and newspapers--only recently accessible through new media. By rewriting the history of the mystery genre, this study opens up new avenues for literary exploration. Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.

Their plan is bold, daring, and meticulously executed; what could go wrong? As the body count rises fast, Major Crime investigators Russell Foley and Sam Rose are assigned to the case. They pursue the three desperate, determined women north, first on the famous Ghan passenger train packed with tourists and heading to Darwin, then across rough, isolated, outback roads. This was never going to be easy. Foley and Rose find themselves in a frantic chase to catch the killers and save lives - including their own - but can they catch them before more innocent people become victims of the Petticoat Gang?
