ABOUT THIS SESSION

What stories are women telling, and why do they resonate so deeply with readers? Kathleen Cosgrove, Christine Mager Wevik, Elena Hartwell, Kelly Oliver, Lea O’Harra, Rea Frey, Shirley B. Garrett, Tikiri Herath, and Dr. Psy.D discuss what defines women’s literature, from emotional truth and social context to the personal experiences that inspire powerful storytelling. This session explores how voice, empathy, and lived experience shape stories that linger long after the final page.
