Women Writers

African American Women Writers of the 19th Century "is a digital collection of some 52 published works by 19th-century black women writers. A part of the Digital Schomburg, this collection provides access to the thought, perspectives and creative abilities of black women as captured in books and pamphlets published prior to 1920. A full text database of these 19th and early 20th- century titles, this digital library is key-word-searchable. Each individual title as well as the entire database can be searched to determine what these women had to say about "family", "religion", "slavery" or any other subject of interest to the researcher or casual reader. The Schomburg Center is pleased to make this historic resource available to the public."

Domestic Goddesses aka "scribbling mobs of women", "a moderated E-journal, devoted to women writers, beginning in the 19th century, who wrote domestic fiction" including Louisa May Alcott, Willa Cather, Kate Chopin, Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Susan Glaspell, Sarah Josepha Hale, Pauline Hopkins, Sarah Orne Jewett, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Sojournor Truth, Susan Warner and Edith Wharton.

Renaissance Women Online, part of the Brown University Women Writers Project, includes 100 Renaissance texts as well as contextual introductions and topical essays on women's life and writing in the Renaissance.

Scribbling Women, a project of The Public Media Foundation, dramatizes stories by American women writers for national radio broadcast. This site provides classroom resources for teaching and learning the rich tradition of American literature by women.

Voices From the Gaps: Women Writers of Color "is a World Wide Web project that focuses on the lives and works of women writers of color in North America. The Voices project is made possible through an ongoing collaborative effort between faculty and students in the Department of English and the Program in American Studies at the University of Minnesota. In addition, this site relies upon students and scholars from around the world to contribute author 'home pages' for women writers of color.

Each author page presents biographical, critical and bibliographical information about the writer as well as images and quotes pertinent to her life and works. Each page includes, in addition, links to other resources on the World Wide Web which contain significant information about that writer. Author pages are organized along a set of four indices: by name, place of birth, significant dates, and ethnic/racial identity. Hence you will find Toni Morrison listed under 'M' for Morrison, under her birthstate of Ohio, alongside the years 1927 (her year of birth) and 1995 (the year she won the Nobel Prize for Literature), and under the heading for African-Americans."

Women Writers Online "The Brown University Women Writers Project is a long-term research project devoted to early modern women's writing and electronic text encoding. Our goal is to bring texts by pre-Victorian women writers out of the archive and make them accessible to a wide audience of teachers, students, scholars, and the general reader. We support research on women's writing, text encoding, and the role of electronic texts in teaching and scholarship."
