Images of Maine and Native American Women in Literature

Join us on Thursday, March 26, in the library at 12 noon for readings from work by and about Native American and Maine women writers. The student readings will include works by Sarah Orne Jewett, Gladys Hasty Carroll, Ruth Moore, Edna St. Vincent Millay Joy Harjo, Cathie Pelletier, Louise Erdrich, Carolyn Chute, Leslie Marmon Silko and others.

English Instructor Jan Grieco will begin the hour-long program with a brief overview of the contributions of women writers to the field of literature, with a focus on Maine and the Native American experience.

The reading is to commemorate Women’s History Month.
