While the vast majority of golden age detective programs featured male protagonists, there were a few programs that featured female crime solvers. This feed celebrates these female detectives. The majority of episodes in this feed are dedicated to hard boiled private eye Candy Matson, Defense Attorney Martha Ellis Bryant, and Justice Department Investigator Irene Delroy in the Airmail Mystery. However, there are a variety of specials from programs like Murder Clinic and Suspense, as well as a few lesser known series. Host Adam Graham is your guide to these remarkable women sleuths.
