Marjorie Agosin

editor of A Map Of Hope

September 26, 1999

More than half a century after the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, women throughout the world still struggle for social and political justice. Many fight back with the only tools of resistance they possess - words. A Map of Hope presents a collection of 77 extraordinary literary works documenting the ways women writers have spoken out about human rights.

Marjorie Agosin, an award-winning poet and human rights activist, presents here a global body of writings transcending national boundaries and ethnic identities. This publication has been supported in part by Amnesty International, with a percentage of the profits to benefit Amnesty International USA.

Scheduled to attend and read at this event are Marjorie Agosin, Rose Styron, Grace Paley, Susan Rubin Suleiman, Ferida Durakovic, and more. The event is cosponsored by the Harvard Book Store, Amnesty International, and PEN New England.
