Women's Studies Archive: Rare Titles from the American Antiquarian Society, 1820-1922, is the third instalment of Gale's Women's Studies Archive series. Module three brings together over one million pages of women-authored works from the American Antiquarian Society, the pre-eminent collector of pre-20th century Americana, covering over a century of female writing. This unique corpus of female-authored literature centres on the American female experience in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The database not only provides women's perspective of history but is an essential resource for researchers wanting to undertake in-depth analysis into women's authorship enabling researchers to track the development of female language, literature, and ideas.
