Amplifying Women's Voices


We know the value of the written word as it relates to the work we produce as women artists. Our members are playwrights, authors, scholars, publicists, librettists, amongst additional titles. They amplify the present, provide context to the past and sculpt the future. We are proud that our initiatives have been in the spotlight as well as the work of our members. This visibility continues the conversation of women artists throughout the world. Words matter.
