LUISA VINCIGUERRA - INNER WHEEL LITERARY PRIZE EUROPE
This year, moreover, the literary competition will be connected to an International Event named
“WOMEN: WRITING AND EXCHANGING IDEAS”. This event has been attended by Catherine Refabert,
President of the International Inner Wheel in 2011\12, whose presence is a great honour for the Clubs of Turin. Two different complementary ways have been thought to give voice, on one hand, to female writing through the Literary Prize and, on
the other hand, to a debate on women’s position in Europe and the role of Inner Wheel. That subject
is to be analysed during the International Colloquium “WOMEN FOR EUROPE 4 – THE ROLE OF INNER WHEEL TOWARDS EUROPE 2020”, organized
within the International Long-term Project “WOMEN FOR EUROPE – THE ROLE OF INNER
WHEEL”, started in 2008 by IW Club of Naples Luisa Bruni, Italy.
