Abstract

With the bibliographic repertoire "Mexican women writers: police, black and criminal writers, a bibliographical account (1951-2023)", the origin, evolution and development of detective fiction published by women writers during the 20th and 21st centuries will be documented. Likewise, the information generated condenses the production of fifty female narrators who have cultivated the genre in its police, black and criminal variants. Organized into six categories (novel, short story, essay, theater, anthologies and internet), this bibliography is designed to systematize a database that can be consulted by traditional metadata: author, title, publisher, collection, year of publication, city, award..., items that support revealing figures that inform about the editorial production of the genre. Based on the documentation collected, it is postulated that María Elvira Bermúdez was the pioneer writer in creating detective fiction during the 1950s; Her work as a broadcaster, anthologist, bibliophile, novelist and short story writer, as well as a lawyer, roots her in the fabric of crime stories.
