I absolutely love Amanda Fitton! I have mixed feelings about Allingham in general—some of her books I like and others I don't—but Amanda is such a vivid, yet down-to-earth, appealing character.
Okay, you've convinced me, I need to read some Margery Allingham! Some of my favorite single women characters are Mary Lindsay from The Scent of Water and Orual in Till We Have Faces. Barbara Pym also wrote about single women but I feel like I need to age a bit more before I catch her spark, haha. Thanks for a great article!

She's so vibrant. I think she's one of my favorite characters in general.

Those are both good examples too. Margery Allingham is one of my favorite golden detective writers for her wit and ingenuity in her stories.
