That could work! There is also a Penguin anthology by Michael Sims called “The Penguin Book of Victorian Women in Crime: Forgotten Cops and Private Eyes from the Time of Sherlock Holmes” — but it’s not as long as one of those Penzler tomes.

If I’m feeling very nerdy, I will pick up a reference book I found while searching:
Women Writing Crime Fiction, 1860–1880: Fourteen American, British and Australian Authors

It includes authors I hadn’t thought of as crime fiction writers, such as Gaskell. Plus sensation fiction writers, of course.
