ExFemLiOn: Exilio Femenino Literario Online

Vitruvia is a research network based at the University of Santiago de Compostela in which specialist from different European universities are integrated. The team has a long history of joint work in the field of contemporary German language literature written by women.

Our publications follow the line of Gender Studies and we are currently carrying out a project to recover the memory of female writers and artists exiled as a result of National Socialism. For this we have designed ExFemLiOn, a tool based on the Omeka standard. ExFemLiOn is a digital resource conceived for research and teaching in Humanities.
