Announcing an updated call for papers to the Award Winning Website
E-Journal:
"Domestic Goddesses: AKA Scribbling Women." The URL for the site is
http://lonestar.texas.net/~kwells/dg1.htm check it out before you submit.
(Or even if you don't submit-- constructive comments welcome!)

I am looking for papers, from 3-40 pages, discussing any aspect of the
literature and/or lives of:

Louisa May Alcott, Kate Chopin, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Willa Cather,
Sarah Orne Jewett, Edith Wharton, Charlotte Perkins Gilman and, soon to be
added: Susan Warner.
Particularly useful are guides to research (see the Gilman guide for
examples)

With the Internet growing to include more than just chat and xxx sites,
there's plenty of room for even academia! There seems to be a growth of
literature and literary criticism websites that cater to academics,
undergraduates, and interested readers alike, so let's jump on the
bandwagon! I am interested in papers from grad students as well as
professional scholars.

A PhD student, (me) who will be at Texas A & M soon, is creating a
webpage called "Domestic Goddesses: AKA Scribbling Women." The URL for
the site is http://lonestar.texas.net/~kwells/dg1.htm check it out
before you submit.

The Internet is fast becoming an important source for literary criticism =
of all kinds. Kim Wells, an Ph.D. student at Texas A&M University, is =
currently developing a webpage titled "Domestic Goddesses: AKA =
Scribbling Women" The page will begin by featuring Louisa May Alcott, =
Kate Chopin, Willa Cather, Sarah Orne Jewett, Harriet Beecher Stowe and =
Edith Wharton. I eventually hope to expand the scope to include authors =
Laura Ingalls Wilder, Dorothy Wordsworth, and other women writers of =
domestic fiction as well, so if you have papers on any of these =
underrepresented authors that you would like to see published on the =
Internet, you may also send them.
