Abstract
This book of Electronic Literature (e-lit) brings together twenty eight pioneering and emerging women whose work has earned international impact and scholarly recognition. It extends a historical critical overview of the state of the field from the diverse perspectives of twenty-eight worldwide contributors. It illustrates the authors‘ scholarly interests through discussion of creative practice as research, historical accounts documenting collections of women‘s new media art and literary works, and art collectives. It also covers theoretical approaches and critical overviews, from feminist discourses to close readings and 'close-distant-located readings‘ of pertinent works in the field and includes authors from Latin America, Russia, Austria, Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, and the U.S.A.
Integral to this work are women practitioners writing essays about their own work that demonstrate the significance of artistic practice-based research in creative fields.
