One of Britain’s first policewomen, Gwen Crockford showed an aptitude for the job that saw her become Berkshire Constabulary’s only female detective in 1956. Using archive research and her own memories, her daughter Ruth presents an account of the five years Gwen spent in the role, encountering many difficult scenarios as ‘specialist in women and children’ as well as the prejudices of the era.
