ONLINE: Choice Words: Writers on Abortion

This virtual roundtable with contributors and editors of the crucial collection Choice Words is sponsored by A Room of One's Own. Annie Finch, Manisha Sharma, Alina Stefanescu, Desiree Cooper and Nicole Walker will read from and discuss the book and participate in a Q&A. Abortion is so often kept silent. It is a personal choice and need not be discussed publicly, but doing so is all the more important in the long shadow of those working against reproductive rights. Choice Words includes work by Margaret Atwood, Gwendolyn Brooks, Langston Hughes, Ursula K. Le Guin, Audre Lorde, Joyce Carol Oates, Ntozake Shange, Gloria Steinem, Amy Tan, Lindy West, Mary Wollstonecraft and many others. Register for the event here.
