Working for a Living: Gender and Class in the Literature of Newfoundland and Labrador

The Blue Castle invites you to join local authors Helen Porter, Bernice Morgan, Trudy Morgan Cole, and Carmelita McGrath, together with facilitator Phyllis Artiss for a roundtable discussion about working class women in the literature of Newfoundland and Labrador. The authors will provide insights into their depictions of women in fiction and expand on the themes of work, and gender, as they appear in novels, short stories, and poems set in this province. The roundtable will be followed by a general conversation with our audience, as the authors take questions and engage in debate about the topic.

Please join us for a roundtable conversation about Working for a Living: Class and Gender in the Literature of Newfoundland and Labrador, taking place on Monday, January 25th from 8-10pm at The Ship (265 Duckworth Street). Admission is free.
