A cool resource by Lucy, at Shakespeare's Sister 3:12 pm / 06 February 2010
Upenn hosts an online collection of books by women and information about female authors, some of which is quite difficult to find elsewhere.
From the site:
The Celebration of Women Writers recognizes the contributions of women writers throughout history. Women have written almost every imaginable type of work: novels, poems, letters, biographies, travel books, religious commentaries, histories, economic and scientific works. Our goal is to promote awareness of the breadth and variety of women’s writing.
All too often, works by women, and resources about women writers, are hard to find. We attempt to provide easy access to available on-line information. The Celebration provides a comprehensive listing of links to biographical and bibliographical information about women writers, and complete published books written by women. (See What’s New! for the most recent authors and books added to the listing.)
We are also actively involved in extending those resources. A major focus of the Celebration is the development of on-line editions of older, often rare, out-of-copyright works. We choose works from a range of areas to indicate the variety of interests of women writers. (See “What’s Local!” By Author or By Category for a listing of books and biographical information made available on-line by the Celebration of Women Writers.)
One of the neatest things about this collection is that they have info on women authors (and the texts themselves) from all over the world. It’s pretty interesting!
