Abstract

The editors of the Digital Library have tackled the task of creating a library which enables one to find any work that one may be interested in looking up or reading. Five years ago, a CD Rom entitled German Literature from Lessing to Kafka which present the complete works of select authors together with a programme that assists the user in better understanding their works. In so doing, however, women were almost completely omitted, as the entire CD only featured the works of four women authors. In order to overcome this shortcoming, Mark Lehmstedt edited the above-mentioned CD which contains the select works of 62 women authors from the baroque period to the Weimar Republic. Their works are accompanied by the latest software version of the Digital Library.
