This is about the female detective Who, by virtue of her curiosity, is quite effective At finding the culprit by her powers of deduction (Without using any feminine charms or seduction)
She has a keen eye, a perception remarkable A fascination with minute details that enables Her to notice things that others have ignored (Including the pompous police officers on board) She does not have any academic qualification But knowledge of human behavior is her specialization
There are no stereotypes, she might be A teen like Nancy Drew or an old lady Like Miss Marple, anywhere in the world she might be In different settings, different eras you might see A remarkable woman solving the mystery of a crime-

Dear Women’s Web Community Member,
You may have wondered at our being on the quieter side during the last couple of months. Thank you for your patience, and we wanted to come back to you with a detailed note on what’s been happening at our end of things.
When we first began Women’s Web, as a blog from one woman’s desk along with a few like-minded souls, little could we have imagined the heights that it would soar to. Over the years, Women’s Web has published over 20000 stories (almost all by women), empowered countless women with the ideas, community and resources to chase their dreams, employed hundreds of women in core and project-based roles, and in the process, emerged as the OG women’s community in India. It has also inspired many others to build communities of a similar nature, all enabling women (and other-underrepresented groups) in their own ways.
