Women Writers in History

Home ActivitiesWorking Groups

Overview

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.

  • New PhD-scholar Marie Léger-St-Jean appointed by Radboud University, the Netherlands, from February 2022, for a five-year period. She will work on a re-development of the NEWW VRE and prepare future interconnectivities with similar resources.
  • A new portion of Isabelle de Charrière’s digitised correspondence has been launched; c. 900 of these letters are now available here.

A symposium was held on this occasion (November 23, 2021). The video registration of this symposium is available here.

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).
