Description
Agatha Christie's writing career of more than fifty years
gave her room to develop certain themes in social history.
One of the most interesting of these is her presentation of
women. Christie's two major types are older, unmarried
women and young, high-spirited girls. Within those two
types, Christie deals with the good, the evil, the eccentric,
and the ineffectual. Her characterizations also
include l ess important types, but those tvvo major kinds
of woman dominate her detective novels. Miss Marple in
particular is an important character and incorporates many
of the strong virtues with which Christie imbues her women.
