Overview
Generation Women is a cross-generational storytelling night that amplifies women’s voices and creativity. Each month, six women of note read an original piece on a single theme. Of those women, one is in her 20s, her 30s, her 40s, her 50s, her 60s, and her 70s+.
Join us for this unique, intimate female literary salon recommended by Time Out New York and The New York Times. This month, Vera Papisova, Kathy Tu, Sara Shepard, Majora Carter, Chirlane McCray, and Carol Prisant tackle the theme “My Digital Revolution.” Hosted by author Georgia Clark.

This is a demo, a rough draft, a sample. Monday nights in The Greene Space we swap studio postproduction for real-time ruckus with tapings of your favorite podcasts, sneaky peeks of unreleased pilots and works-in-progress, conversations with the people who make great tape, and audio experiments of all kinds. Take the earbuds out, grab a drink, and get live with your fellow listeners.
