\Or my name ain't Venus Johnson\: The Birth of Pauline Hopkins' Black Female Detective in Hagar's Daughter
2024
Overview
Pauline Hopkins' Hagar's Daughter (serialized 1901-03) meditates on detective fiction's potential to offer agency and self-created potential for a Black woman in Jim Crow times. The result is a liberating use of genre that not only celebrates the prowess of its detective, Venus Johnson, but also affirms the knowledge that flows from Black women and their communities.
