Last December Fred Abbott, an investigator of vampire and Werewolf lore in the UK, published an interesting article on the origins of poems, short stories, and novels in these important horror genres. It is a quick read, but one that is informative, nonetheless. Here is a link.
Mr. Abbott published it for BookRiot UK after reading The Best Werewolf Short Stories 1800-1849 Anthology that I edited. He references the anthology as a place to read Catherine Crowe's "The Story of a Weir-Wolf" published in 1846 and that appears to be the first werewolf story by a woman.
The Best Werewolf Short Stories 1800-1849 Anthology contains many other first-of-their-kind werewolf short stories. If interested, your best bet is to order it off Amazon.
