We welcome authors Joan Gelfand, Jia Ling Wang, Salumeh Eslamieh, Sheila Smith McKoy, and Christina Vo in conversation with Women’s National Book Association president Elise Marie Collins, in a celebration of women writers, artists, and changemakers for International Women’s Day. By centering women’s lives – socially, politically, and historically – in their work, these authors faithfully capture the diverse spectrum of women’s stories and perspectives. The panelists will also speak to their own experiences in the field of writing and publishing.
