This is part of the libraries live events, which bring exciting literary events into public libraries. Listen to poems, thought and feelings from people who are not afraid to hold back. The night will live up to its name and bring some outspoken opinions to light. This is your chance to hear about these women's lives through their work. The event brings the group together but each woman has a unique perspective and will share their individual identity. This is set to be an event where you can hear powerful ideas and work.
