Go here to read a few pages out of the book Hardboiled and High Heeled: The Woman Detective and Popular Fiction. It talks about Laura Holt and Remington:

I've read parts of this before on Google Book search some time ago, though it was in scanned book page form and not in text form (is that new feature).
