Women’s past and future
21 September 2007
Huygens Institute, The Hague
On September 21 2007, the NWO digitizing project The International Reception of Women’s Writing (Utrecht University, 2004-2007) will be officially closed.
The Research Institute for History and Culture (OGC), hosting the project, is organizing a study day on this occasion, at the Huygens Institute.
The project’s global output will be presented and its impact will be discussed for ongoing international research, which is being prepared in the context of the NWO project New approaches to European Women’s Writing (Utrecht University; 2007-2010).
Morning session:

Afternoon session:
Women Writers - The Importance of Being Named
Contributions will consider the fact that many of the women authors figuring presently in the database WomenWriters had long been completely forgotten, and that thanks to our approaching them via contemporary reception or early literary history we found their names – albeit often not much more....
On the other hand these authors, when writing (for example) their novels, had to choose names for their fictional characters. This naming is one of the aspects we want to be able to analyze when studying women’s literary history: indeed names are charged with significance, and some names more than other.

Introduction - Readers revealing the names of female authors. The case of the writing Susanna’s.
