The Feminist Writers Festival put in a sterling effort to hold a virtual festival in the midst of a year disrupted entirely by the pandemic. So it’s particularly sad – and sadly ironic at this particular time − that artistic director Nikki Anderson has announced the festival is shutting up shop. Since 2016 it has hosted 56 events mainly in the eastern and southern states, featuring more than 160 speakers, along with publishing a variety of essays and podcasts.
“So far it’s been done on sweat, tears and passion of a group of women,” says artistic director Nikki Anderson.
