15 OF THE BEST FEMINIST MYSTERY NOVELS

https://bookriot.com/best-feminist-mystery-novels/amp/

The major influx of women publishing mysteries and thrillers in the past 15 years has meant that we’ve gotten a lot more interesting, diverse crime novels that challenge the status quo and look at crime fiction a bit more broadly. That’s important, especially since the genre tends to be preoccupied with stereotypes about female characters and uses violence against women as set dressing rather than taking the opportunity to dive deeper into issues of misogyny and feminism. These 15 feminist mystery novels explore crime and feminist issues in new and exciting ways.

Great list! Enjoy!

I hope I can find the time to read some of those.

I've ALWAYS loved female characters that are strong, and that's why mine are kind, gentle and will kick your ass when necessary.

Thanks for sharing.
