Join us in celebrating Women’s History Month 2021.
This year we are highlighting the output by women working in the area of born-digital literature from all over the world. Each day we will post, on Twitter, one work by one woman artist or scholar. All works will be accessible on the web and all posts will be archived at the Electronic Literature Lab’s (ELL) website for future study.
Additionally, you are welcome to nominate works to be featured. Each Sunday during the month of March, we will post links to works by women you wish to honor. To nominate, contact ELL’s Project Manager.
