translations of women's writings before 1700


"About this site

The site offers an introduction to over 125 women who wrote a substantial amount before 1700 and whose work (or at least a good part of it) has been translated into modern English. All but three entries are on women who wrote in languages other than English; those three are on women who wrote in the English of the 1300s and 1400s. Almost all of the entries are on individuals; a few are on more than one woman.

The site's goal is to get you to want to read all that is available in translation (or in the original if you can) of these women's writing. Why all? You need to read the whole work in order to hear the writer's full voice. Anthologies are admirable, but in reading them you eavesdrop on a small part of a conversation; you need to go to the whole to hear the writer's full conversation with her world."

""...nothing to do with anything produced by magical arts."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

There is a body outside the body,
Which has nothing to do with anything produced by magical arts.
Making this aware energy completely pervasive
Is the living, active, unified original spirit.
The bright moon congeals the gold liquid,
Blue lotus refines jade reality.
When you've cooked the marrow of the sun and moon,
The pearl is so bright you don't worry about poverty"
