About Me


At CNW, we're dedicated to a simple mission:

To use the power and creativity of words to strengthen the voice of progressive women and women speaking from the margins of society.

Our programs support women as we engage with the written and spoken word in all of its expressions, from reading to blogging to creative writing to theater and performance to opinion-making in the media.

Check out our website at www.centerfornewwords.org !

While you're there, let us know what else is happening for women in Boston on our Community Calendar , and find a job, a roommate, a new idea or a friend on our Discussion Boards !

Of course, you'll want to see what and who's coming to CNW next, which is all on our Upcoming Events page.

And you can also download or watch some of our past events right here .
