Thanks Greg.
My short history of the pulps (Dime Detectives) doesn't
mention her; the
1946 anthology, The Art of the Mystery Story, ed. by Howard
Haycraft, and,
later, Julian Symons characterized her as writing "crime
comedy." But I'd
be the first to admit that these are not extensive
sources.
So far, then, she and Leigh Brackett are on my list to
check.
For those just tuning in, the question I tossed out had to do
with whether
any women, using their own names or pseudonyms, were writing
hard-boiled
fiction in pulps or novels before 1940.
