In this workshop we will read and discuss memoirs, stories, essays, letters, and poetry written by and about women in the second half of life. Some of the readings will depict the experiences of older women, others will be reflections by those women on the phases of their lives as girls, young, and mature women. Mining these readings for perspectives on what it means to be a woman and a woman coming into her fullness, we’ll sample a variety of approaches to writing about our lives. Each session will include conversation, discussion of craft, and a writing prompt. The short readings will include such authors as Angelou, Athill, Strout, Sackville-West, Grumbach, and Olds. Note: No meeting Nov 25, Dec 23 & Dec 30.
