This website is an output of the Women's Writing for Performance Project, a three year research programme (2003 - 2006) funded by the AHRC and led by Professors Elaine Aston and Geraldine Harris of the Lancaster Institute for Contemporary Arts at Lancaster University. The project sought to understand what strategies are employed by women in their writing practices and to analyse such strategies for their contestation of gender representation, through regularly convened practice-research events, undertaken in conjunction with international visits of the project leaders to archives and to practitioners.
