They wore sensible shoes for their long country walks or they danced the night away in their light slippers. They used their feminine wiles, to be sure, but mostly those wiles consisted of a knack at close observation, an understanding of the aberrant psyche, and a hot ambition to succeed personally and professionally. They were the female sleuths created by British women long before Sayers, Christie and Gladys Mitchell made the profession respectable. Their works echoed the changing conditions of life for British women in both work and the domestic sphere, the perceptions about domesticity and intuition as well as about the spinster as professional woman, and the impact of these writers on popular culture. Author Kungl (English, Shippensburg U.) finds forgotten treasures and makes sure to record their motivation of the great women to come. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
