Black Women Writers database

Another announcement from Dennis Smith at ULS about a new database:
"Black Women Writers from Alexander Street Press is now available online.
This resource contains the full-text of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry by women from North America, Africa, and the Caribbean as well as essays by scholars and feminists about the history of feminism and genre studies in these regions. There are currently 13,000 pages of text in this resource. It will eventually contain approximately 100,000 pages.”
It’s a work in progress; you can easily browse the database at http://alexanderstreet2.com/blwwlive/ to see if any of your faculty liaisons might use it.
