Authors Sue Grafton, Sara Paretsky, and Marcia Muller have introduced some strong female characters into the world of detective fiction. V.I. Warshawski, Kinsey Millhone, and Sharon McCone have made it clear that the men aren't the only ones able to cleverly ferret out the "bad guys and gals" in fiction. In this program, each author talks about how she is letting her characters evolve in her novels and what these characters say about how society is slowly changing.
