"[T]his Web site collects full texts and excerpts of works by over 125 women from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East writing from 2200 BCE to 1700...an overview surveys entries by genre. 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, eyewitness Byzantine history by Anna Comnena, and the fairy tales of the Baronne d'Aulnoy. Entries include biographies, links to transcriptions and portraits, and annotated bibliographies 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 in translation."
