There are many things I love about Phryne Fisher.  One of the biggies is how much she likes and is protective of women.

And one of my favourites:

An autistic, academically gifted university student in an otherwise all-male student body is framed, stalked, bullied and slandered.

Phryne doesn’t lay the blame on her, fixate on her differences or say her treatment is justifiable. She imitates her behaviour to understand it, opens up her home as a safe haven, and tries to see the world from the girl’s perspective rather than deciding to coach her to pass.
