Local Women Writers Reading for International Women’s Day

This year marks the 100th Anniversary of International Women’s Day on Tuesday, March 8. In honor of International Women’s Day, Her Circle Ezine, a website dedicated to women, is celebrating with a variety of literary and arts events online which includes an event happening in Clarksville. Her Circle Ezine is spotlighting Clarksville’s literary history as well as some of the women who continue to promote the arts within the community.

On March 5th at 6:00 pm, Austin Peay’s Downtown Gallery is hosting a literary reading. Amy Wright, Mitzi Cross and Kim Leavitt will be reading from their work. Light refreshments will be provided, in part due to the generosity of Silke’s Olde World Breads.

The reading will be recorded and added to Her Circle’s website. In honor of International Women’s Day, Her Circle has a free virtual festival over the weekend with writing workshops, artist’s talks, guided art walks, virtual readings and more. See the schedule for a complete listing of events

On March 7th, the readers from Clarksville will be available at Her Circle Ezine’s website for a Q&A session. Participants need to register at the website prior to the live conference session. Registration is quick and easy and you can find it by clicking on the above link to the schedule of events.

All events are free and on a first come, first serve basis.
