Central to our purpose is the belief that the contributions
American women writers have made to our literary heritage have been
under-acknowledged at best and, at worst, completely ignored. The
Scribbling Women project provides an opportunity for teachers,
students, library patrons, visually impaired listeners, and a
general audience to learn about and enjoy an often neglected part
of
our cultural heritage. When used at college level the
interdisciplinary approach of the project enables it to serve as a
catalyst for further programming assignments and discussions in
fields such as women's studies, ethnic studies, American history
and American literature - Valerie Henderson, Executive
