We are delighted to announce that Women Writers Online (
http://wwp.northeastern.edu/wwo/) will once again be free during March, in
celebration of Women’s History Month. This collection includes almost 400
texts written and translated by women, first published between 1526 and
1850. For more information on getting started with WWO, please see this
post (http://wwp.northeastern.edu/blog/free-march/) on our blog.
In addition to WWO, we also have several publications that are always
open-access, including:
• Women Writers in Review: a collection of almost 700 reviews of and
responses to works by the authors in WWO. WWiR is open access and linked
with WWO, so that readers can easily navigate between both collections.

• Women Writers in Context: a collection of essays exploring topics
related to early women’s writing. WWiC provides core background information
for the texts in WWO and WWiR, while highlighting shared themes and
historical interconnections and helping readers to discover new works by
women writers. http://wwp.northeastern.edu/context/
• Teaching materials: We have recently begun an initiative to partner
with faculty on developing assignments and activities using WWO and WWiR.
You’ll find more information on our teaching partner program, along with an
initial set of assignments here: http://wwp.northeastern.edu/

Please feel free to contact us (WWP@northeastern.edu) if you would like
more information about WWO or any of the Women Writers Project’s
publications.
We hope that you enjoy these collections!
Best wishes, Julia
