Read Aloud! Celebrate Commonwealth Women’s Writing

Would you like to be involved in an exciting project exploring writing by women in Commonwealth countries? And along the way play an active part in developing a new Commonwealth Women’s section for the reading collection at Glasgow Women’s Library?

In the year that Glasgow hosts the Commonwealth Games, a new group will explore contemporary writing by Commonwealth women. In these reading-aloud sessions we will uncover and share stories and poems reflecting women’s experiences around the globe, and take time to reflect on the similarities and differences. No knowledge of Commonwealth writers is necessary.

There will also be fantastic opportunities – regardless of previous experience – for those who would like to develop skills in research, review writing and creative writing, as well as direct contact with readers and writers abroad. Led by Reader in Residence Magi Gibson.

This group is women only, come when you can. Contact the Library on 0141 550 2267 or email us at to be added to the mailing list about this group.

This work is supported by the National Lottery Celebrate Fund.
