Come yourself or share the invitation with women you know. Join us for conversation and commentary about the world around us, plus enjoy a beverage! WomenTalk is always interesting and exhilarating!
Register using eventbrite here or just show up. And bring your friends, co-workers, sisters,
daughters, and granddaughters to hear these amazing stories!
The Memphis Area Women’s Council advocates for women on the toughest issues, when women are ill-equipped or sometimes too traumatized to advocate for themselves — especially when it comes to safety at home, in the work place, and on campuses.
This work is ultimately satisfying and yet can be tiring and depressing and unwelcome in many circles. That is why we depend on our friends and supporters to keep our energies high, our focus crisp and our attitude positive, with hope renewed over and over.
This time of year is a good time for those who care about what we do to help us stay in the fray — by helping to defray the costs of the work. Please consider a donation to the Council today.
