Generation Women: Time’s Up

Hosted by Georgia Clark
Featuring Milly Tamarez, Elliott Sailors, Lois Thompson, Stephanie Gangi, and More TBA

Generation Women is a cross-generational storytelling event that amplifies women’s voices and creativity.

Host and event co-founder Georgia Clark (author of The Regulars and the YA novels She’s with the Band and Parched), was moved to create Generation Women following conversations with her mother, Jayne, about the sense that women disappear from public conversation as they get older. Clark was inspired to create a safe and welcoming space where women of all ages could join together to be celebrated, explore their experiences and learn from one another. “We live in a society that simply doesn’t value older women,” says Clark. “With Generation Women, we’ve created an event where women can come together to tell their own stories and glean vital and vibrant cross-generational wisdom. Also, we can drink wine. Wine is very important.”

Generation Women combines the vivacity of a literary salon with the importance of a community meeting where elders and youth exchange shared wisdom. This unique and intimate monthly female symposium features representative speakers in their twenties, thirties, forties, fifties, sixties and seventy-and-over presenting short original essays and experiences centered on a given topic. In an aggressively dark political moment, this monthly event showcases the hearts and minds of strong women when we need them most. All are welcome to join and learn.

The theme for February’s performance: Time’s Up. It’s THE rallying cry of 2018, and we want to know what you’ve said “time’s up” to in your life. Maybe you’ve said “time’s up” in the more traditional sense: to the office creep/mansplainer/patriarchal a**hole. Maybe you’ve said “time’s up” to negative self-talk to a bad relationship or no relationship. To impossible standards or an impossible diet. We’re not looking for your hot take on Time’s Up as a movement, but a first-person personal story that shares something of your life with our audience.
