Literary Women of The Blue Mountains

About This Project

Share your pictures, stories, and other digitized content with the Literary Women of The Blue Mountains online exhibit!

This is an evolving biographical resource of English-language women writers who published before 2000. These women all share a connection having lived some part of their lives in the area currently known as the Town of The Blue Mountains.

We are seeking your help!

If you have content to share about the women writers featured in the online exhibit, or if you know of others who have written between 1800 and 2000, you are welcome to submit digital content here.
