Columbia College Women hosted its first event celebrating new female voices in fiction on May 8 in the President’s Room at Faculty House. Elena Cabral ’93, ’99J, an adjunct professor at the Journalism School, organized and moderated the event. Melissa de la Cruz ’93 read from Blue Bloods , her recently published novel, and from Fresh Off the Boat, her 2005 novel inspired by her adolescent years of cultural transition from the Philippines to the United States. Jennifer Anglade Dahlberg ’93 read from her debut novel, Uptown and Down, which draws from her experiences as a Haitian-American growing up in New York, and Tova Mirvis ’95, ’98 Arts read from her second novel, The Outside World, and from her bestselling debut novel, The Ladies Auxiliary, which chronicles the tightly knit Orthodox Jewish community in Memphis where she grew up. More than 80 attendees from classes ranging from 1987–2005 attended the event and mingled afterward for book signings and refreshments.
