Ms. "Well-researched and well-written... Traces the evolution of sexist boundaries in popular detective fiction from a feminist viewpoint and documents the parallels in social history and the women's rights movement." Ronald C. Miller, The Armchair Detective "Identifies dozens of good novels whose titles are not well known, its promise of good reading extending well beyond its own covers." Jane Bakerman, Belles Lettres
