The underrepresentation of women in cultural historiography has challenged a number of feminist responses in the form of supplementary female canons since the 1970s. Women Writers in History takes this task a step further, and investigates historical sources until 1930 to find out whether female authors were read in the past. Evidence of readership, translations and commentary is contained in the digital repository NEWW Women Writers, which serves as a collaborative research tool for the working group. The group also pursues methods of incorporating this new knowledge at the different levels of education. Further concerns consist in finding openings for outreach and for funded, future research projects.

De Charrière’s letters provide important amounts of reception data, which we have started integrating, both the women authors read by Charrière and those who read Charrière’s works. In May 2023, we plan launching her complete correspondence (c. 2600 letters).
