What do rara-avians think about that claim, in terms of other
female
writers publishing during or before the early 1940s?
The other major writer I know about fr. the 1940s is Leigh
Brackett, and
her novel, _No Good From a Corpse_. (1944). Later, of course,
she was known
for her screenwriting and short fiction. Did she write any
earlier novels
I should look up?
Generally, were there other women writing hard-boiled or noir
fiction,
especially novels, before 1942?
[In the short article on Leigh Brackett in _Hard-Boiled_, I
see the names
of Craig Rice (Georgiana Ann Randolph Craig), M.V. Heberden,
Helen Nielsen,
and Dolores Hitchens, but gather their careers may have
developed later, in
the 1950s.]
Thanks for suggestions and help in this matter.
