HISTORY OF MYSTERIES: WOMEN REINVENT THE GENRE

HISTORY OF MYSTERIES: WOMEN REINVENT THE GENRE

An article published in The Atlantic Monthly magazine, July 2016, announced that "Women Are Writing the Best Crime Novels." This wasn't personal opinion, but a fact established by statistics from various publishing houses that women wrote, read, and bought the most mystery novels. Although male novelists still published, women writers had captured the genre. So, what did they do with it? How has the genre changed in the hands of these women writers? Join OLLI’s Rebecca Worley for this exciting presentation which will answer all these questions and more.

Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Delaware is a volunteer based, learning cooperative for adults 50+. The Speaker’s Bureau is a group of our instructors who are part of our community outreach effort on education. For more information and to learn how to participate in OLLI, visit olli.udel.edu
