We are all equal under the law.  However, even in these more modern times that is not an absolute and still remains a distant ambition for many. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn the days when Britain ruled the waves and bestrode the world as its policeman and plunderer in chief it also subjugated half of its own people to second class status.  Women were chattel and property.  There were some exceptions based on wealth and birthright but for the overwhelming majority your lot was to fall in with the rules and do as you were told.  Many did.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eBut whilst male society sought to place obstacles in the path to equality, it could not deny their literary talents, which many times they circumvented by using male pseudonyms.  However, the soaring sales of magazines and periodicals during the Victorian Age meant they had voracious appetites for literature, whatever the sex of its gender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDozens of authors appeared to fill the need.  Narratives had new ideas.  Characters were emboldened by societal changes and the female voice taking responsibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe women included here are talents that dazzle.  Put them up against anyone and they rise to the top.  Whether they remain with an avid readership today or faded to obscurity with the passing of the times their quality remains undimmed.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThey still speak to us with a clear and unique voice.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn this volume our classic women authors embark on a spree of crimes and mayhem that put their male counterparts to shame.  In fresh and exciting ways their talents, used either on the side of justice or that of criminal enterprise, will enthral and engage us in very many ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1 - Women of Wonder - Crime - An Introduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e2 - The Frewin Miniatures by Baroness Orczy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e3 - The Missing Model by Lettice Galbraith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e4 - The Scarecrow by Ethel Lina White\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e5 - A Twin Identity by Edith Stewart Drewery\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e6 - A Broken Trust by Elizabeth Corbett\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e7 - The Devil Stone by Beatrice Heron-Maxwell\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e8 - Satan's Circus by Lady Eleanor Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e9 - Inquest by Leonara Wodehouse\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e10 - Luz by Elinor Mordaunt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e11 - Madame Ville D'Aubier by Josephine Tey\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e12 - A Princess's Vengeance by Catherine Louisa Pirkis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e13 - Why Herbert Killed His Mother by Winifred Holtby\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Deadtree Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43438850605134,"sku":"AB-26422","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1194\/4786\/files\/9781836826422_Women_of_Wonder_-_Crime.jpg?v=1771427128","url":"https:\/\/www.deadtreepublishing.com\/products\/women-of-wonder-crime-audiobook","provider":"Deadtree Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
