Sara Paretsky's groundbreaking mystery series about Chicago private
investigator V.I. Warshawski debuted in 1982 and is still going
strong. As co-founder of Sisters in Crime (a worldwide organization
supporting women writers), as a sought-after public speaker and as
2015 president of the Mystery Writers of America, Paretsky
continues to open doors for other authors. This book is the first
comprehensive reference work on Paretsky, providing an overview of
the Warshawski novels and short stories, her other novels, a volume
of collected essays, her anthologies and journalism. Special
attention is paid to the character of Warshawski-the tough,
street-smart detective who challenges stereotypical representations
of women in crime fiction-and to the significance of the Chicago
setting she inhabits. Paretsky's pioneering work beyond the page is
covered. A guide to the scholarly and critical debates is included,
along with discussion of media adaptations and references to key
websites.
