Critics Review
“If you’re a fan of true crime, you should know the work of pioneering journalist Elizabeth Garver Jordan. She was one of the few women to cover the Lizzie Borden and other murder trials…and did so with an innovative, narrative style that captivated the country. She championed women’s rights, denounced sexual violence, turned out detective tales and novels and if Emma Stone hasn’t optioned her story, well then Hollywood knows nothing.” —Parade
