Breaking Silence: A Literary Journey with Women who Spoke Truth to Power
March 18 Breaking Silence: A Literary Journey with Women who Spoke Truth to Power 6:30 – 8 pm
Award-winning writer Elayne Clift offers a presentation on women writers who were courageous enough to tell truth about their lives. Clift is inspired in part by Muriel Rukeyeser’s iconic question: “What would happen if just one woman told the truth about her life?” Her answer was: “The world would split apart.” Clift will showcase historically and more currently how women writers and thinkers helped achieve social change and created new norms, especially for women – many of which are now threatened.
