For over 20 years, Cerritos College has enjoyed celebrating women writers and their legacy to the world. Students, community members, and faculty have congregated every year to offer tribute to women writers across ages, cultures, and genres in celebration of Women’s History Month.

This year we will re-start our on-campus community tradition in person!

All are welcome to join us next Wednesday, March 8 at 10:00-11:15AM in room AD 117 (EOPS classroom). Prepare in advance a Literature excerpt authored by a woman writer of your choice (poem, play script, story). Come ready to share your reading.

Participants should limit the introduction, reading, and discussion of the literature to 3-5 minutes maximum. Prompts to help you enhance your delivery such as the text itself, a picture, or artifacts may be appropriately used.

This year, prizes are available for student readers 

$200.00, first place winner

$150.00, second place winner

$100.00, third place winner
