International PEN Women Writers Committee Brief
The International PEN Women Writers Committee (IPWWC) was created in 1991 to
address the special needs of women writers. Women writers continue
throughout the world to have unequal access to resources. There are
countries in which a book by a woman author has never been published. As
well, family and other pressures upon women, have necessitated attempts to
find effective ways to protect and support women writers. The IPWWC now
enjoys representation in over 70 PEN Centres. There is also a marked
increase of the visibility of women writers within International PEN.
