内容説明
The Case of Lizzie Borden and Other Writings is the first work to collect Garver Jordan’s fiction and journalism, much of which has been out of print for over a century.
Jordan began her career as a reporter, making her name as one of few female journalists to cover the Lizzie Borden murder trial for the New York World in 1893. Jordan’s distinctive, narrative-driven coverage of the Borden and other high-profile murder cases brought her national visibility and she turned increasingly to fiction writing.
Drawing on her experiences as a true-crime reporter and newspaper editor, she published detective novels and short story collections such as Tales of the City Room that explored the fine line between women’s criminality and crimes against women. Employing popular genre conventions as a means of dealing with women’s issues, Jordan exposed gendered abuse in the workplace and the prevalence of sexual violence.
The Case of Lizzie Borden and Other Writings encourages readers to draw a historical trajectory from Jordan’s pioneering literary activism to the writings of contemporary journalists and novelists whose work continues to fuel discussions of gender, feminism and crime, raising questions about who gets to tell women’s stories, especially in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
