Funny Women…Serious Business

We hope you to see you Thursday, November 6th at Rosie's Place annual Funny Women…Serious Business luncheon! The featured speaker is Rachel Louise Snyder, an award-winning author and investigative journalist whose work explores the causes and consequences of the violence that impacts women. Her powerful memoir, Women We Buried, Women We Burned, recounts her own story of loss and survival. When eight-year-old Rachel’s mother died, the years that followed were tumultuous and traumatic culminating in her becoming homeless at age 16.

Living out of her car and relying on strangers, Rachel found herself masquerading as an adult, talking her way into college and eventually traveling the globe. As a journalist, Rachel has visited more than 60 countries, covering stories of human rights, natural disasters, displacement and war. She is a professor of creative writing in the MFA program at American University.
