Jordan began her career as a reporter, making her name as one of few women journalists to cover the Lizzie Borden murder trial for the New York Plt;iPgt;World Plt;/iPgt;in 1893Plt;iPgt;. Plt;/iPgt;JordanP#8217;s distinctive, narrative-driven coverage of the Borden and other high-profile murder cases brought her national visibility, and she turned increasingly to fiction writing. Drawing on her experiences as a true-crime reporter and newspaper editor, she published detective novels and short story collections such as Plt;iPgt;Tales of the City RoomPlt;/iPgt; that explored the fine line between womenP#8217;s criminality and crimes against women. Employing popular genre conventions as a means of dealing with womenP#8217;s issues, Jordan exposed gendered abuse in the workplace and the prevalence of sexual violence. Plt;iPgt;The Case of Lizzie Borden and Other WritingsPlt;/iPgt; encourages readers to draw a historical trajectory from JordanP#8217;s pioneering literary activism to the writings of contemporary journalists and novelists whose work continues to fuel discussions of gender, feminism, and crime, raising questions about who gets to tell womenP#8217;s stories, especially in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
