Good article on this cited at vweisfeld.com/?p=5802. It's interesting the way men write about women protagonists; some are great at it, and others just put give a woman's name to a character that's essentially male in outlook and action.

The pioneers in this genre showed us how it's done. Yet, there is more diversity in these characters today from lovable amateur detectives to those with a hard edge. I'm so glad they all have a place.Diane Burtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03754105332297068271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-18714199541253202982018-02-26T06:06:30.488-05:002018-02-26T06:06:30.488-05:00Good morning and welcome to the Roses, Theresa - M...Good morning and welcome to the Roses, Theresa - My apologies for being late! Great post about the evolution of women crime writers. This year's Amazon series "Mozart in the Jungle" has been exploring the evolution of women composers and conductors. They've come a long way, too! We're getting there! 50 SHADES OF CABERNET sounds terrific!

Back in the day, I had two choices of 'high paid' careers...nursing and teaching. 33 years later, I retired as the first female high school principal in a all-male administrator district. It ain't easy, but the battle was worth it! Now, I'm writing about heroines who no one thought could make it...but they did! Love this genre!

I keep wondering if I'm making it too gory. I don't usually write...well, there were those two books that took place in Paris. Okay, I have a weird mind. Good luck to you.
