Famous Lady Writers and You
Taught by Amy Wilson
Ages 14-18, 15 students
Wednesday, March 24, 2010: 6-8pm
Do you like Jane Austen? Maya Angelou? Margaret Atwood? Louisa May Alcott? These writers have something in common (besides, of course, the letter A): they are all Famous Lady Writers. Who are Famous Lady Writers? What makes them tick? What gives them their special — dare we say ineffable — brand of greatness?
In this workshop we'll take a tour of Famous Lady Writers Throughout History. We'll learn about their lives and read their work. Then we'll take a stab at a Famous Lady Writer-style story of our own.
Note: Prerequisites for this workshop include a sense of humor and willingness to write. Being a lady is NOT required. All non-ladies are invited, and encouraged, to attend.
Amy Wilson's List Of Things About Which To Be Enthusiastic is long, but Famous Lady Writers (and capital letters) are near the top. She studies at the University of Michigan and will graduate in the spring with degrees in Creative Writing and Literature and Women's Studies. Around 826michigan, she is sometimes known as "Curly."
