I do not see much more than your list (besides Leigh
Brackett, of course- she's probably a better author in her
film scenarios with many classics).
Paul Kruger: in my lists I found it was the pseudo of Roberta
Elizabeth Sebenthal, born in 1917.
Margaret Millar qualifies fully: she already published novels
during the 40s. And she was the wife of Ross MacDonald (real
name Kenneth Millar as we know all).
Also, besides Anglo-Saxon writers, maybe there was some women
author of noir in other countries ?? but this is far from
being a wide possibility I think. Speaking of the French
domain, that I know better than other foreign noir lit.,
there was none (at least of a certain level of value).
However, if you look at the middle of the 80s until now,
ladies enter noir in bulk (at least compared to the forty
preceding years).

Domestic noir, perhaps - the term could fit any of the
above.

(Hope I got the title right.)
