What Are
Pen Women?
Pen Women
look like other women,
But we
are not like other women.
We are
women who express ourselves through
one or more of the three creatives:
Music,
Art and Letters.
Our
Creative Expression Is more
than a pastime;
It is a
profession for which we have
been monetarily recognized.
