Ya know, it seems as though I never hear that it is the month/year of the whatever until that month/year is almost over. I never hear ahead of time. March is apparently Women’s Month. Hey, I am one so why didn’t I know??!!
Anyway, Georganna over at Writer’s Edge had a post that I thought I’d share here.
Earlier this month I wrote about Wild Women and Books, by Brenda Knight in a post honoring Women’s History Month. Mary Mark Ockerbloom edits a website devoted to A Celebration of Women Writers. It’s worth taking a look. Mary says:
Since 1994, I have been developing an on-line resource entitled A Celebration of Women Writers. The Celebration links to thousands of pages about women writers, and more than 1200 complete on-line editions of published books by women writers. Editions of out-of-copyright works are also being put on-line at the Celebration by myself and others. In the fall of 1997, I began the Build-A-Book Initiative, soliciting volunteers via the web, selecting books, sending out chapters, and supervising completion of works as sections were returned. More than 200 volunteers are now engaged in collaborative development of on-line editions of works by women as part of this initiative. Over 140 on-line books are now available at the Celebration.
