Authors Tatiana Fraser and Caia Hagel are the guest speakers at the 22nd annual Celebrate Women event, which takes place April 11.

Three women's organizations — Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Sudbury, YWCA and the Women's Legal, Education and Action Fund (LEAF) — partner to put on the event, which provides female Canadian authors an opportunity to feature a recent book.

Fraser and Hagel are the authors of “Girl Positive.” 

They travelled North America to talk with girls about cultural, social and political issues, covering a wide variety of topics, including social media, sexual violence, hyper-sexuality and cyberspace identities.

The event, which includes a presentation by the authors, a reception and book-signing, takes place starting at 7:30 p.m. April 11 at Laurentian University's Fraser Auditorium. 

Tickets cost $10 each, and are available at Gloria's Restaurant, Apollo Restaurant, the LU Bookstore and at the door.

Proceeds go to support scholarships and services for young women in Greater Sudbury.
