Since 1991 Women Writing for (a) Change has supported the lives of women and girls for whom writing is, or might become, an important spiritual, creative and therapeutic practice. Women and girls, ages 8-93 have attended semester classes, weekend and week-long writing retreats, and Saturday theme classes in which they experience the inspiration and safety created by expert teacher-facilitators, and a vibrant, hospitable container for evoking what is theirs to tell.
The Women Writing for (a) Change Foundation promotes the accessibility of Women Writing for (a) Change programs to a wider and more diverse audience through its outreach programs and by scholarships for women and girls to attend WWf(a)C classes.
Our Feminst Leadership Academy of Cincinnati gathers women committed to making their businesses, church communities, faculties, activist (and other organizations) healthier, more peaceful, and life-encouraging.
Women Writing for (a) Change has AFFILIATES in:
• Birmingham, AL
• Burlington, VT
• Bloomington, IN
• Grand Junction, CO
• Portland, OR
• Traverse City, MI
