BiographyHistory

Sisters in Crime was launched at the Feminist Book Festival in Melbourne in September 1991 and grew out of a shared interest in women's crime and mystery fiction. It was inspired by the American organisation of the same name, which was initiated by Sara Paretsky (creator of Chicago Private Investigator, V. I. Warshawski) and other women crime writers in 1986.
