In this research paper, I look closely at three digital archives of women writers for evidence of feminist encoding practices and text analysis experimentation that supports feminist scholarship. I chose to examine the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Willa Cather Archive, Northeastern University’s Women Writers Online, and University of Alberta’s Orlando Project because all three archives utilize the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) guidelines and are involved with computer based text analysis projects. The notion and practice of feminist markup has evolved out of the digitization and encoding of women’s writing as well as feminist literary criticism. As I examine digital archives of women’s writing, I focus on reaching an understanding of encoding practices and attempt to generate a working definition of feminist markup by looking at documentation of markup practices of women’s writing. Secondly, I am looking for connections between feminist markup practices and text analysis, especially for evidence that supports or does not support a direct cause and effect relationship between interpretative and critical feminist markup and more meaningful text analysis outcomes.
