WomanSleuth Anthology: Contemporary Mystery Stories by Women (Paperback) Edited by Irene Zahava

A new generation of women mystery writers offers up a cast of women sleuths who join the ranks of such established favorites as Nancy Drew, Jane Marple and Harriet Vane. They run the gamut from professionally-trained policewomen and private investiga-tors, to amateurs who stumble into crime-solving. They are brave, in-telligent, observant, quick - witted and quick-acting women just the sort you can depend on when the going gets rough.

In a bold departure from the hard-boiled macho mainstay of American mystery fiction, this anthology intro-duces us to women who prove that brains can be more powerful than brawn ... and deadlier than a bullet.
