International Women’s Day celebrates worldwide the economic, political, and social achievements of women past, present, and future.

March 8, 2011, will be the centennial celebration, and we’re teaming up with Room Magazine, hosting a celebratory evening of readings to honour the fabulous women out there who make Room possible.

Join us at Historic Joy Kogawa House, 1450 West 64th Avenue, Vancouver, from 7pm–9:30pm, for light refreshments and readings by four contributors to Room Chantal Gibson, Jane Silcott, Judy McFarlane, and Sigal Samuel.

Suggested entrance donations of $2 go to Joy Kogawa House’s Writer-in-Residence Program. Space is limited. To secure yours, RSVP to news@roommagazine.com by Wednesday, March 2.

See you there!
