    Subject: [DHSI] Orlando and Women Writers Online: Free for the Month of
    March

    ***With apologies for cross-posting***

    Dear all,

    We are delighted to announce that both *Orlando: Women’s Writing in the
    British Isles from the Beginnings to the Present* (orlando.cambridge.org)
    and *Women Writers Online* (wwp.northeastern.edu/wwo) will once again be
    free during March, in celebration of Women’s History Month.

    *Orlando* is an online cultural history generated from the lives and works
    of women writers. At present, it contains: 1,325 author entries (1,025
    British women writers, 175 male writers, 166 other women writers—listed
    twice if their nationality shifted); 13,607 free-standing chronology
    entries; and 26,278 bibliographical listings. More than 31,000 people and
    7,500 organizations are mentioned or discussed somewhere in the textbase.
    For more on getting started with *Orlando*, see:
    orlando.cambridge.org/public/svDocumentation?d_id=QUICKTIPSFORNEWUSERS

    To access* Orlando* during March, please log in with the following
    credentials:
    Username: womenshistory18
    Password: orlando18

    The *Women Writers Online *collection includes more than 400 texts written
    and translated by women, first published between 1526 and 1850 (no
    credentials are required to access WWO; you can search and read the texts
    in the collection at: wwo.wwp.northeastern.edu/WWO). In addition to WWO,
    the Women Writers Project also has several publications that are always
    open access, including *Women Writers in Review* (
    wwp.northeastern.edu/review), a collection of close to 700 reviews of and
    responses to works by the authors in WWO, and *Women Writers in Context* (
    wwp.northeastern.edu/context), a collection of essays exploring topics
    related to early women’s writing; we also have a growing collection of
    teaching materials (wwp.northeastern.edu/wwo/teaching/pedagogical-dev.html).
    For more on getting started with WWO, see this blog post:
    wwp.northeastern.edu/blog/free-march-2018.

    Please feel free to contact us if you would like more information about any
    of these publications; the Orlando Project can be reached by email at
    orlando@ualberta.ca and the WWP is at wwp@northeastern.edu.

    We hope you enjoy the collections!

    Warmly,
