Sisters in Crime was founded in 1986. The purpose of Sisters in Crime shall be “to combat discrimination against women in the mystery field, educate publishers and the general public as to the inequities in the treatment of female authors, raise the level of awareness of their contribution to the field, and promote the professional advancement of women who write mysteries.”
