Leeds Lit Fest presents
Inspiring the City is supported by Leeds Inspired part of Leeds City Council.
Authors Ali Harper and Danuta Kot discuss whether it is possible to write gripping crime novels that seek to empower women and subvert the sexual stereotypes? From the domestic thriller to chick noir, are women's roles within crime fiction expanding or will we always have to wrestle with the femme fatale and helpless victim caricatures?
