Women Writers Project
The Brown University Women Writers Project or WWP, founded in 1986 at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, is a long-term research and publication project which focuses on making available texts from early modern women writers in the English language. The Women Writers Project maintains "Women Writers Online" an electronic collection of rare or difficult to obtain works written or co-authored by women from the sixteenth century to the mid nineteenth century. In addition, the WWP is actively engaged in researching the complex issues involved in representing early printed texts in digital form and holds an annual conference, "Women in the Archives," as well as teaching workshops in text encoding and other practices central to digital humanities.

Famous quotes containing the words women, writers and/or project:
“The hearts of Afro-American women are too warm and too large for race hatred. Long suffering has so chastened them that they are developing a special sense of sympathy for all who suffer and fail of justice.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
“Even in the midst of love-making, writers are working on the description.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Indigenous to Minnesota, and almost completely ignored by its people, are the stark, unornamented, functional clusters of concrete—Minnesota’s grain elevators. These may be said to express unconsciously all the principles of modernism, being built for use only, with little regard for the tenets of esthetic design.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
