NOEMA: The Collaborative Bibliography of Women in Philosophy
This site "is a project in collaborative scholarship with a database now containing over 16,000 records representing the work of over 5,000 women. It evolved out of a small bibliography begun early in 1995. This project was posted in June of 1995 in order to take advantage of possibilities inherent in the World Wide Web to do some sorts of academic work more effectively than can be done in other media. In particular, we thought that reference works offered on the Web ought to be expandable and correctable by appealing to users themselves to collaborate and providing them with an easy means of doing so." . . . Since that time, the site has grown into "a first-rate, comprehensive, and continuously up-dated bibliography of works by women in aesthetics, epistemology, ethics, logic, metaphysics, history of philosophy and philosophy of mind, of science, of art, and of many other subjects."
