"Prior to the establishment of the network, scholars working in the field of early modern women's writing in Australia were quite isolated and disconnected [...] but what we've been able to do is bring together a broad range of well-known scholars from across Australia, as well as international scholars who are at the top of their field and run similar networks internationally. This joining of the minds has allowed us to become a really effective network. We've held a lot of activities including national and international conferences and symposia and have really built our reputation in the field."
