Collective Biographies of Women
|
|
|
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.

contextualizing documents such as the seminal Pre-Raphaelite journal, The Germ; visual works by Elizabeth Siddal, John Everett Millais and Ford Madox Brown; and William Michael Rossetti's Mrs. Holmes Grey. More information about the archive can be found here.
