*squishes* Are you looking more for history/criticism or anthologies of texts by women?
I do really have to rec Margaret Ezell's Writing Women's Literary History because she talks about how what we "know" about the history women's writing largely comes from Virginia Woolf's "Judith Shakespeare"--the problem being that though Woolf's is a great book, it's fiction, and it skews things because then the "common knowledge" becomes based on something that's not only modern, but untrue! McDowell's Women of Grub Street talks about seventeenth and eighteenth century women writers and women in the book trades.
I have an Early Modern Women Poets Anthology but I haven't gotten to it yet. Renaissance Women and Drama: Texts and Documents is really interesting.
