Jordan began her career as a reporter, making her name as one of few women journalists to cover the Lizzie Borden murder trial for the New York \u003ci\u003eWorld \u003c\/i\u003ein 1893\u003ci\u003e. \u003c\/i\u003eJordan’s distinctive, narrative-driven coverage of the Borden and other high-profile murder cases brought her national visibility, and she turned increasingly to fiction writing. Drawing on her experiences as a true-crime reporter and newspaper editor, she published detective novels and short story collections such as \u003ci\u003eTales of the City Room\u003c\/i\u003e that explored the fine line between women’s criminality and crimes against women. Employing popular genre conventions as a means of dealing with women’s issues, Jordan exposed gendered abuse in the workplace and the prevalence of sexual violence. \u003ci\u003eThe Case of Lizzie Borden and Other Writings\u003c\/i\u003e encourages readers to draw a historical trajectory from Jordan’s pioneering literary activism to the writings of contemporary journalists and novelists whose work continues to fuel discussions of gender, feminism, and crime, raising questions about who gets to tell women’s stories, especially in the wake of the #MeToo movement.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57576346911102,"sku":"NW9780143137603","price":14.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780143137603.jpg?v=1783350158","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/case-of-lizzie-borden-other-writings","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
