The Texas Regional SSAWW Study Group was founded by Theresa Gaul (TCU) and Desiree Henderson (UTA) in order to foster a community of scholars in the Texas – Oklahoma – Louisiana region. We are associated with the national organization, the Society for the Study of American Women Writers. Our participants are professors, graduate students, and independent scholars who share an interest in American women writers. We generally expect to host two meetings a year (one each in Fall and Spring semesters) at campuses around the region.
