Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to spotlight and talk about the books we're excited about what we have yet to read. Generally they are books that have yet to be released, but don't have to be. It is based on Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous at Breaking the Spine.
Release Date: July 1st, 2018
Author: Chris Enss
Genre: Non-Fiction
Pages: 208
The true story of Kate Warne, an operative of the Pinkerton Agency and the first woman detective in America--and the stories of the other women who served their country as part of the storied crew of crime fighters--are not well known. For the first time, the stories of these intrepid women are collected here and richly illustrated throughout with numerous historical photographs. From Kate Warne's probable affair with Allan Pinkerton, and her part in saving the life of Abraham Lincoln in 1861 to the lives and careers of the other women who broke out of the Cult of True Womanhood in pursuit of justice, these true stories add another dimension to our understanding of American history.
Why I'm Waiting: Because I could tell you who Kate Warne was and why she's an important women in history. However, I couldn't tell you anymore than that. Or, anything about the first women in the Pinkerton Agency. So I'm excited to get into this one.
HAPPY READING!!
