For centuries, the idea has been repeated that “there are no great women writers.” Not because of a lack of talent, but because access to knowledge, publishers, and literary circulation was, for a long time, denied to women. A social mechanism was built so that only one voice could occupy the center: the male, white voice, accustomed to being heard.

​

Women have always written. The problem was never writing itself, but the refusal to recognize these works. Literary machismo acted like a silent termite, erasing names, trajectories, and entire traditions. In different eras and cultures, these voices existed, thought, and created worlds, even when pushed to the margins or into anonymity.

Treating women’s writing as an exception is to prolong this erasure. Women who write affirm their presence. This site was created to bring these voices together and to remind us that they were never absent, they were merely set aside.
