==Women's reading and writing:
readership and participation in the literary field==

This part of the site will in the near future present women authors for whom records in the database WomenWriters are showing the importance, or for whom further research has been done. Focus will be on their attitude in the dialogues they are undertaking by publishing their works.

In this project, those considered as “authors” are women who wrote and published, be it their own texts or translations of texts by others, comments on others’ writings, etc. In other words, “intermediaries” are being classified here as authors.

This provisional definition is of course not wholly unproblematic: what about oral forms of literature, for example, for which reception documents are difficult to find? These questions will be addressed in the first of the “NEWW November meetings” in Amsterdam (November 2007). Details will follow; for information: Suzan van Dijk.

We welcome short articles to be published here online, as far as they are resulting from research facilitated by the database WomenWriters (propositions are subject to peer review).
