Kate Warne, Pinkerton Detective by Marissa Moss
4.0
Through ingenuity, perseverance and a quick mind, Kate Warne was able to become the first female Pinkerton detective. Warne's contributions to the Pinkertons are what helped the agency to gain their pristine and prestigious reputation.
This was a fabulous picture book biography. FEMALE EMPOWERMENT TO THE MAX! Kate was smart and knew that she might need to do a little bit of shady stuff to get a job as a Pinkerton, but she used her brain and her quick wit to show Pinkerton himself that it would be valuable to have a female detective on staff. and THEN on her first and subsequent cases, went on to prove her point and cement the Pinkertons as the most upright and badass of detective agencies. What. A. Lady. Two thumbs way up.
