At the top of each hour, a guest speaker will read a selection of original work. Guest speakers include prize-winning local poets and faculty.

The remainder of the event will feature student readings of striking passages from favorite and popular female authors or from their own relevant work. According to the college, the event is a lively annual celebration of women and words for all to enjoy.
