History Through Film : Women of Mystery - Three Writers Who Forever Changed Detective Fiction
Monday 9 November 2026 at 2:00 PM
Melton Library & Learning Hub
Event Description
Discover rich heritage and culture and experience stories as never before at History Through Film.
First we read Nancy Drew, girl detective. Then what? Women of Mystery explores the writing lives of three authors (Sara Paretsky, Sue Grafton & Marcia Muller) who started a literary revolution and, in the process, captured readers' imaginations around the world. With V.I. Warshawski, Kinsey Millhone and Sharon McCone, the female private eye entered the scene of detective fiction. Diving into the wilderness of the unknown, she saw what no one else had seen and told a new story. Women of Mystery includes dramatisations that capture familiar characters and themes from the novels, engaging scenes with each author exploring her heroine's home turf, and intimate interviews that reveal the complex relationship between author and heroine.
After the session, we can also show you how to stream even more documentaries and films from home using your library card, absolutely free.
