NOIAW Connecticut Region invites you to an interactive discussion with Italian American women authors, focusing on what compels them to write about their heritage, family, and community.
The panel will examine the contemporary situation of immigration in Connecticut, and how their families’ immigrant past empowers them to be successful in the present. Helene Stapinski, journalist and author of several nonfiction books including Murder in Matera, will lead the discussion. Invitees include Linda Cardillo, Juliet Grames, and Marianne Leone.
