Abstract
This article approaches feminine writing in the context of the English circulating libraries in the late 18th to mid 19th centuries. It analyzes the social and economic conditions that promoted the development of women as writers. Specifically, it considers the contribution of these libraries –characterized as book rental ventures– to the process of expansion of the possibilities of women’s inclusion in the book economy. Through a qualitative approach, this paper adopts the bibliographic and documental research, guided by the studies of textual bibliography. In this work, it is inferred that the possibilities of women’s participation as authors increased due to such libraries.
