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. There are so many things to think of, nowadays. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Young, beautiful and deadly, best friends Amber, Ebony and Anna are on a mission to leave a past littered with tragedy behind them. With a determination spurred by the promise of a future free of financial hardship, they travel to Alice Springs, in the heart of the Australian continent, to rob banks and kill their way to a better life.
