Women Writers in History-DARIAH-WG

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: SHEWROTE. 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.

We are pleased to invite you to the Winter Meeting of our DARIAH Working Group, Women Writers in History.  

We propose :

- to give visibility to the WWiH activities and SHEWROTE database as much as participants' contributions to the history of women writers

- to share experiences with participants and to launch  possible projects in the DARIAH framework and in the Brill Collection.

- to curate data on SHEWROTE, to identify problems and to propose solutions

- to enlarge and  to renew WWiH DARIAH-WG.

Short presentations, posters, discussions and hands-on sessions let us share expériences and solutions
