The underrepresentation of women in cultural historiography has been challenged since the 1970s by a number of feminist responses in the form of supplementary female canons. 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 a database, which serves as a collaborative research tool for the working group. Its latest incarnation is a virtual research environment (VRE) named New approaches to European Women’s Writing (NEWW). The group also runs a BRILL book series and pursues methods of incorporating this new knowledge at the different levels of education through regional groups. Further concerns consist in finding openings for outreach and for funded, future research projects.
Colleagues interested in joining the Women Writers in History working group can contact Chair Alicia Montoya (contact details below). The full list the working group members, updated in July 2022, is available in a PDF.
