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!
