The female private detective has been a staple of popular culture for over 150 years – Victorian lady-sleuths, busybody spinsters, gun-toting PIs. But what about the real-life women behind these fictional tales?Caitlin Davies traces the history of the UK’s female investigators, uncovering the truth about their lives and careers, from the 1850s to the present day: from Victorian private inquiry agent Antonia Moser, the first woman to open her own agency, to Liverpool sleuth Zena Scott-Archer, the first woman president of the World Association of Detectives.
Caitlin followed in the footsteps of her subjects, undertaking a professional qualification to become a Private Investigator herself. Female investigators are on the rise in the UK – nearly a third of new trainees are women. After a century of undercover work, it’s time to reveal the secrets of their trailblazing forebears.
