Library to Host Women’s History Month Writing Workshop

Tompkins County Public Library will host, “Oh, the Women!,” a Women’s History Month writing workshop facilitated by Tompkins County Poet Laureate Irene “Zee” Zahava, Wednesday, March 8 from 2 to 4 p.m. in the BorgWarner Community Room-East.

Being held in conjunction with International Womens’ Day, this free program will encourage participants to write and share stories about the special women in their lives—friends, family members, literary characters or historical figures. Men and women are invited, but not required, to bring photographs and keepsake reminders of these women to inspire their writing.

Zahava is a writer, publisher and anthologist. She is the founder of Zee’s Writing Studio in downtown Ithaca where she has offered workshops for adults and teens since 1994.

This program is free and open to the public, but the workshop will be limited to 15 registered participants. To register, contact Zahava at (607) 273-4675 or zee@twcny.rr.com.
