Women Writers Project
The Brown University Women Writers Project or WWP, founded in 1986 at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, is a long-term research and publication project which focuses on making available texts from early modern women writers in the English language. The Women Writers Project maintains "Women Writers Online" an electronic collection of rare or difficult to obtain works written or co-authored by women from the sixteenth century to the mid nineteenth century. In addition, the WWP is actively engaged in researching the complex issues involved in representing early printed texts in digital form and holds an annual conference, "Women in the Archives," as well as teaching workshops in text encoding and other practices central to digital humanities.
