The suggested reading – or viewing – here is the fabulous flapper sleuth of 1920s & 1930s Melbourne high society, Miss Phryne Fisher. She is an independent and strong character who is renowned for her sharp wit, keen deductive reasoning, and of course her sensationally stylish attire. Additionally, she can fly a plane, drive a car, deftly metes justice with her pearl-handled pistol, and prefers lovers to marriage – she is a feminist James Bond long before 007’s time.
Another fabulous and highly appropriate inclusion in your bibliography Robyn. I am a huge fan of The Honorable Phryne Fisher (lady detective), having read many of Kerry Greenwood's books and also having seen most of the ABC tv series. I adore the feisty and feminist character of Phryne and particularly enjoy the historical detail of 1920's Melbourne. Thank you for including this in your list!
