The goal is to bring texts by pre-Victorian women writers out of the archive and make them accessible to a wide audience of teachers, students, scholars, and the general reader. It supports research on women's writing, text encoding, and the role of electronic texts in teaching and scholarship. ... All of these texts can be browsed, searched, and analysed tools which provide access to the full SGML encoding. (from the Women Writers Project site)
