On Womanhood Connecting and Thriving in Every Season

Writers Launch Essay Collection to Celebrate Womanhood, Benefit a National Nonprofit, YWCA.
On Womanhood: Connecting and Thriving in Every Season, is an anthology featuring personal essays penned by women ages 21 to 72.
Just in time for Women’s History Month, the 11 writers are sharing a collection of experiences and musings on topics ranging from caregiving and decision making to family
dynamics, self-care and leadership.
The joint effort culminating in the publication of On Womanhood began in January 2021 as a mastermind course of how to write and publish a book, and was conducted over a 13-month period via teleconference calls, emails and Zoom meetings. Writers for the project are based throughout the United States, including in Richmond, Virginia; Savannah, Georgia; Houston, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada.
“This anthology project started as a way to help members of my Focused Writers mentorship program understand the process of going from book idea to book publication,” said Stacy Hawkins Adams, an award-winning, multi-published author and lead editor of the project. “The bonus has been the way this process has knit us together, with members of the group not only writing essays, but also helping with editing, formatting and the cover design. It has been gratifying to produce this project with this group of amazing women, and we hope it’s going to inspire and encourage many readers.”
