About the Digital Edition

The editorial work of The History of Nordic Women’s Literature online is currently carried out by academic staff at the Centre for Gender and Diversity, University of Southern Denmark, in collaboration with KvinnSam, Gothenburg University Library.

The editor‑in‑chief of the book series The History of Nordic Women’s Literature I–V, Elisabeth Møller Jensen, served as Director of KVINFO from 1990 to 2014. The digitisation of the work in 2012 was undertaken by KVINFO, Copenhagen, in collaboration with KvinnSam, Gothenburg University Library, with Elisabeth Møller Jensen as editor‑in‑charge. Professor Anne‑Marie Mai at the University of Southern Denmark served as editor for the extensions published in 2014 and 2016.

In 2022, the University of Southern Denmark assumed ownership of and responsibility for the digital work from KVINFO, and the editorial responsibility was transferred to the Centre for Gender and Diversity at the university. KvinnSam remains the owner of and is responsible for the Swedish section of the website.
