Enfield Society talk: The Mysterious Case of the Victorian Female Detective
Tuesday 13 January 2026 11.00am
Jubilee Hall, 2 Parsonage Lane, Enfield, EN2 0AJ
Sara Lodge will be talking about women detectives in the London police, in private enquiry agencies (sometimes running their own) and on the stage— especially in the East End, where as many as 4,500 people piled into the Britannia theatre nightly to see Sara Lane strut her stuff as a cross-dressing, fist-swinging female detective, getting the better of a no-good wife murderer who happens to be her sister’s fiancé. Sara’s book will be available to purchase on the night.
