Baker Street Babes is an-all female Sherlockian group[1] who host the web's first all-female Sherlock Holmes podcast.[1] There are eleven members of the group, including Edgar Award-nominated author Lyndsay Faye,[2] a collective devoid of a president or a leader.[3] They consider themselves "a bridge between older Sherlockians and young, tech-savvy enthusiasts",[4] and they have been described as being "at the center of online Sherlock fandom".[5]
The various members of the group are active in podcasting, blogging, and Tumblr.[6]
