Other Women's Voices
A valuable addition to feminist scholarship, this site collects full texts and excerpts of works by over 125 women from Europe, Asia and the middle East writing from 2200BCE to 1700.  Outlines present the works in alphabetical or chronological order. The literature ranges from the personal and devotional poetry of Sappho and Bahina Bai to the memoirs of Jeanne d' Albret, the sacred narratives of Lucrezia de' Medici, eye witness Byzantine history of Anna Comnena, and the fairy tales of Baronee d' Aulnoy. Entries include biographies of primary and secondary sources. Some - including drama and hymns by Hildegard of Bingen, chivalric verse by Marie de France and the love letters of Heloise to Abelard - appear in the original language and translation.

Victorian Women Writers Project
Includes poetry, children's books, novels, political tracts and travelogues. VWWP comprises texts in English written by nearly 50 women. It focuses on archiving the works of women writers that are out of print or absent from anthologies of this period. The content is authorative, pages load quickly, and some titles include scanned pictures from the original work. The text of all works is transcribed instead of scanned, with bibliographic and technical information located early in the text. The current collection of works is useful to anyone interested in Victorian studies - particularly history, literature and women's studies.
