Women's Studies

"Established in 1977, NWSA is a professional organization dedicated to leading the field of women's studies and gender studies, as well as its teaching, learning, research, and service wherever they be found."

"A gateway to the Library of Congress Resources for the Study of Women's History and Culture in the United States."

"In 2013 the WWP moved from Brown University (started in 1988) to Northeastern University. The Women Writers Project is a long-term research project devoted to early modern women's writing and electronic text encoding. Our goal is to bring texts by pre-Victorian women writers out of the archive and make them accessible to a wide audience of teachers, students, scholars, and the general reader."

This project aimed to "produce highly accurate transcriptions of works by British women writers of the 19th century...The works, selected with the assistance of the Advisory Board, ... include anthologies, novels, political pamphlets, religious tracts, children's books, and volumes of poetry and verse drama."

"The materials in this on-line archival collection document various aspects of the Women's Liberation Movement in the United States, and focus specifically on the radical origins of this movement during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Items range from radical theoretical writings to humourous plays to the minutes of an actual grassroots group."
