caitriSo my colleague Kate and I made a thing: Women in Book History Bibliography.
It is very much a work-in-progress, but we've been working on it for two days, so....it still looks shiny. But basically we're trying to pull together every scrap of scholarship on women in book history we can find, and put it all in one place. When we're happy with it, we're gonna advertise it on the book history listservs, and try to crowdsource more stuff, especially for non Anglo-European material. (Lemme tell ya, if you want to feel depressed, look at finding only three books under the Library heading "Women in the Book Trades--England" and then finding only ONE book in "Women in the Book Trades--Japan."
