The Women's Writers Project (WWP) at Brown University has been working on preserving and publishing early women's writing in English since 1988, and they have had an online presence since the late 1990s. Along with sponsoring an annual conference, they maintain this website, where visitors will find information about their digital publication schedule, their educational seminars, and other events. Scholars may wish to start their visit on the site by clicking on "Research and Publications" at the top of the homepage. In this section, visitors will find information about the WWP's published work, several online exhibits, a collection of early modern women's manuscripts, and course syllabi on women's writing. Visitors should be sure to check out the actual manuscript collection found here, which contains over 320 texts published between 1526 and 1850. Visitors should also be sure to check out the "WWO Lab" area, which is also found in the "Research and Publications" section. The Lab offers several intriguing visualizations that show the percentage of dramatic speeches according to the speaker's gender in two 17th century plays as well as another visualization that looks at the letter-writing networks at the heart of the "The History of Emily Montague" from 1769.
