In Search of Women Authors

Summary/Abstract: Dr Suzan Van Dijk is a researcher at the Huygens Institute for Dutch History of the Royal Dutch Academy of Arts and Sciences in The Hague and the Chair of the COST Action IS0901 Women Writers in History; Toward a New Understanding of European Literary Culture (2009-2013) which gathers experts on women’s literature from all over Europe. The COST Action is the most recent phase of the project which started back in the early 90s and is still dedicated to further developing and using a database on European women’s writing and its reception up to the early 20th century1. In view of the further development of the Women Writers database into a Virtual Research Environment, a ThinkTank meeting was held in the end of September 2011 in Göteborg. The similarities and differences between the online literary projects which are part of this COST Action were discussed as a first step in creating a joint online platform for research.
