About This Item
Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland & Company, Inc, Publishers, 2016. First Edition . Trade Paperback. Fine. 6" x 9. 246 Pages Indexed. No defects noted to this as new book with tight white pages. From Emma Peel with her kinky boots to Amanda King and her poppy seed cake, from Julie Barnes with her hippie pad to Honey West and her pet ocelot, television's female spies and crimefighters leave an indelible impression, yet there hasn't been a reference book devoted to them until now. This encyclopedic work covers 350 female spies, private investigators, amateur sleuths, police detectives, federal agents and crime-fighting superheroes who have appeared in more than 250 series since the 1950s, from early pioneers such as The Detective's Wife, through 70s hits like Charlie's Angels and Wonder Woman, to today's favorites, including Elementary, Rizzoli & Isles, Sleepy Hollow, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Entries are alphabetical by both character name and series title, featuring credits and synopses, notable plot points, interesting facts and critical commentary on seminal series and characters. A brief history of female spies and crimefighters on TV places them in chronological perspective and sociological context.
