Collective Biographies of Women, writes Allison Booth, "is an exhaustive annotated bibliography of the more than 930 books published in English (in Britain, the United States, and elsewhere in the Anglophone world) between 1830 and 1940 that collect three or more women's biographies. Two selective chronological bibliographies feature all-female collective biographies published before 1830 and after 1940. These books, written by more men than women, feature a surprising range of historical, legendary, literary, or biblical subjects, of many ages and lands and many kinds of achievement."  For an expanded discussion of Booth's project, follow this link.
