The John O'Lague Galleria at Hayward City Hall will have the "Pen Women" Exhibit on display through Feb. 11.
The National League of American Pen Women (NLAPW) began in 1897 in Washington D.C. when three well-known professionals in the fields of writing and art were denied access to the Press Club because they were women. The three formed their own organization of seventeen women of achievement in letters, art, and music composition for networking and support. Presently about 4,000 meet for support and inspiration.
