Women Writing Letters

Inspired by Women of Letters events in Australia, Gailey Road has curated a literary performance series called Women Writing Letters in Toronto.  Women Writing Letters features both established and up-and-coming women artists reviving the art of letter writing.  Our fourth season ended in April 2015 with writers reading out letters to their 18-year old selves.


Overthe four seasons of Women Writing Letters (2011-2015) xixty-seven letters by sixty-one writers have been written, performed and published.  Congratulations to all our letter writers!
