Poetry readings are welcome, and there will be selected
works from various feminist authors and their words on feminism(s) to stimulate dialogue in realization that women are different, but that those differences can be destructive, can also be beautiful and the very source of women’s liberation.  All women, and male allies, as well as those in opposition are welcome.
