The Crime Lady: Rediscovery, Revival, and Redress

Dear TCL subscribers:

If you are receiving this dispatch, it means you are a paid subscriber. So first, my deepest thanks for kicking in a few bucks a month or paying the annual rate. My plan for the paid version of TCL is to send out newsletters on a more regular schedule — monthly, to start — featuring entirely original pieces. The free version will be more about what I’m up to, events, books I’m reading, and links of note, all hallmarks of this newsletter for four years and counting.

And so, today’s dispatch: on women writers, those neglected, overlooked, unsung, exploited, and how to think of a particular moment in literary history that, in hindsight, was quite troubling.
