Anthologies of Classic Crime Fiction by Women
There is currently a huge book out there called The Big Book of Victorian Mysteries -- edited by Otto Penzler. Michael Sims also has anthologies on Victorian crime fiction. Both include women writers (Mary Elizabeth Braddon, Mary Fortune, Anna Katharine Green, C. L. Pirkis, etc.) Penzler also has lots of anthologies of golden age crime fiction.

Those look interesting, but I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for similar anthologies with stories by women?

Note: There are quite a few anthologies of women's ghost stories and weird fiction from this time. For example, "Women's Weird: Strange Stories by Women, 1890-1940" and "The Mammoth Book of Ghost Stories by Women."
