There's a great post over at the blog Women in Science on a resource, the Harvard Open Collections Program Women Working 1800-1930.

Go read the post for a sampling of goodies from the collection. Many thanks to Women in Science for pointing us all to this rich archive!

Two more websites that feature women, and aren't porn! Yay!
