Description
A series of bibliographies, organized by genre, of published texts written by American and British women, from 1500-1900, The Women’s Bibliography Project covers printed books published before 1900. It includes only original literary works in English. It excludes manuscripts, translations, anthologies of multiple authors, and works of a non-literary nature (cookbooks, guidebooks, etc.) or of a purely scholarly character (biographies, histories, etc.). It does include memorial volumes where a significant amount of the women’s own work is excerpted. The purpose is to provide a comprehensive list of books by women in the five genres and to develop a research tool for identifying women who wrote or were known under a variety of names and pseudonyms.
