TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION<\/a>) \u2014 To celebrate Women’s History Month, the Troy University English Department<\/a> along with Sigma Tau <\/a>Delta<\/a> hosted a literature reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We just had people share something by or about women they found interesting or touching or impactful in some way,” said Ben Roberston, a Professor of English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many students had the opportunity to share their favorite work by a woman writer. Hailey Alcathie, President-Elect of Sigma Tau Delta, said she is glad there were many in attendance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of students that come out and then read something,” Alcathie said. “Oftentimes we’ll have a lot of students come and then they’ll just kind of sit in the background. But there were a lot of students that read something that was important to them and that was really exciting.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students shared the works of many writers including Emily Dickinson, Jane Austen, and Maya Angelo. Alcathie shared the poem “An Author to Her Book” by<\/a> Anne Bradstreet<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This has been a poem I kind of think about on a weekly basis. It’s just so raw and real and it’s got maternal elements. Also, as someone in the English field, portraying those maternal elements on to writing I think is just so cool and so interesting.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event provided a way to close out Women’s History Month<\/a> and celebrate the impacts women have had on the literary world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
