The publishing site Women Writers’ Networks as presented in this form was one of the outcomes of the digitizing project The International Reception of Women’s Writing (2004–2007; Utrecht University). This digitizing project was part of a large research programme which is going on since 1997 - and continuing since then thanks to different fundings and projects.

>

Next phase was the international networking project New approaches to European Women’s Writing (NEWW; 2007–2010). Just as the preceding projects it was funded by NWO (Netherlands Organisation of Scientific Research); collaboration was with Universities of Genève, Lausanne, Southampton, Warwick and Bochum.

In the framework of this project an international network has been created, for which a mission statement has been formulated during an Exploratory Workshop organised in Utrecht, April 2008. Since then, the NEWW project has been instrumental in preparing a European-wide COST Action entitled : Women Writers In History: Toward a New Understanding of European Literary Culture. During this Action (2009-2013), European scholars further collaborated and enlarged the network in view of preparing appropriate understanding of women's role in international literary history.

It was followed by HERA Travelling TexTs (2013-2016), which led us to becoming a DARIAH Working Group, again named "Women Writers in History". This is equallly the name of a book series we created with Brill, Leiden.


Objective of the present website is: informing about the series of projects and activities going on. Note that while access to the website is open to everyone, a password is needed for complete access to the VRE.
