Grrrls
Literary Activism Project
In collaboration with City High
School, we will continue our Grrrls Literary Activism Project
this fall. Girls ages 14 to 17 will gather for a series of
weekly workshops designed to hone their skills as thinkers,
writers and literary activists. Participants will themselves
and each other critical questions about their lives and the
world, read what women have had to say on these issues, write
their own original words, and finally bring their work to the
public sphere. These workshops will be held at Casa
Libre en la Solana, a writer's retreat in Tucson.
