GREAT WRITERS AT BARNARD
Barnard President Judith Shapiro presented the “What Makes a Writer?” main event panel, featuring (L-R): Ann Brashares (’89), Edwidge Danticat (’90), Anna Quindlen (’74), Mary Gordon (’71), and Jhumpa Lahiri (’89).
“If the question is, what makes a writer, clearly the answer is Barnard College.”
—Anna Quindlen, Pulitzer Prize winning columnist/author (Barnard Class of ’74)
What do you get when you invite 75 colorful, quotable, bestselling writers — across genres, mediums, and generations…all Barnard grads — back to campus for a day of 23 provocative panels exploring all the different aspects of the writing life? You get a sold-out audience of 1,300 rapt, well-read, intellectually curious fans, coming together for a substantive celebration of women’s word power — with some of the biggest names in publishing, including Pulitzer Prize winners Natalie Angier, Jhumpa Lahiri, and Anna Quindlen.
