Talk:Rex Stout
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first female detective in fiction goes back definitely back way further than 1937; Jess Nevin's "Fantastic Victoriana" has descriptions of far older instances. It may be that the qualifier "private" makes it a bit more true, though I doubt this. Additionally there is the possibility that all previous instances starred in short stories, not novels. Given that the first *real* female private detective goes back to 1856 with Kate Warner joining the Pinkerton agency, I have my doubts about that too.
Until someone can get some confirmation I will remove the speculation that Dol Bonner is the first female private detective to star in novels. Martijn Faassen 12:18, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
