Abstract
The article proposes a numerical analysis of the correlation between the authorship and the main characters of the novels in the “La Negra” collection, published by La Magrana. Given the fact that this is the first collection specialized in crime fiction to include female authors in its catalog, the study aims to serve as a starting point for determining quantitatively and qualitatively the emergence of female authors in a traditionally male genre. The work is based on the main and secondary roles and the motivations for the crime from a gender perspective. It should be noted that there is a marked difference between the number of novels written by men and women in the corpus studied. However, there are some differences between the authors’ productions.
