Nava Atlas is best known for her vegetarian and vegan cookbooks. But lately she’s been focused on her parallel path as a visual artist and writer, with interests in all things bookish as well as women’s issues. Her limited edition artist’s books are collected by universities and museums around the country, and she’s working on new projects that focus on women’s lives in history.

You will want to be sure to join us as Nava shares fascinating stories about women authors of the past: their struggles, their doubts, their courage in the face of great odds, and their ultimate achievements. Her book is called The Literary Ladies’ Guide to the Writing Life: Inspiration and Advice from Celebrated Women Authors Who Paved the Way. Now Nava also has a website and newsletter devoted to sharing more about the work and lives of these amazing women.

This promises to be a lively discussion and one that will truly honor those brave truth-tellers who paved the way for us… the perfect celebration for International Women’s Day!
