Writing Women’s Lives
Introductory/Intermediate | What’s your story—as a daughter, mother, lover, sister, wife, or single woman? Although these experiences are important, women have not always had the means to tell their stories. Whether silenced, shamed, or overlooked, women writers throughout history have sought creative ways to get their stories heard. Come learn about these challenging and empowering histories and develop your own unique voice through writing exercises aimed to help you explore your own life story—and how you want to tell it.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
