The collection of WWO is a full-text database of over 200 works published by English and American women from 1400 to 1850. A special subset of WWO is Renaissance Women Online. Works are listed by author, title, and date of publication. Users may consult other related women writers projects that complement WWP, such as The Orlando Project, which is a history of women's writing in the British Isles. The objective is to produce a five-volume print set and a searchable electronic textbase. The Perdita Project: Early Modern Women's Manuscript Compilations, "will produce an online guide to over 400 manuscript compilations around the world." The majority of manuscripts were compiled during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and contain poetry, cookery, and autobiographical works. Women Writers Resource Project at Emory University is a pedagogical tool for text editing by undergraduates and graduate students. Users may access edited and unedited works written by women from the seventeeth through the nineteenth centuries. Although limited in terms of texts represented, the database offers users access points by genre, ethnicity, form, geography and time period.Emory University. Women Writers Resource Project.
