The Department of Feminisms of the Tàrrega City Council commemorates International Women Writers' Day with a cycle of literary activities taking place from October 21 to 25.

On the occasion of International Women Writers' Day, celebrated on October 19, the Department of Feminisms of the Tàrrega City Council has organized a series of activities titled 'Writers and Criminal Literature'. The events will take place between October 21 and 25.
On Wednesday, October 21, at 7 PM, the Germanes Güell Library (located in Plaça de Sant Antoni) will host a book club dedicated to crime novels written by women. The activity, moderated by translator and linguistic corrector Mireia Gabernet, will provide a space for discussion of readings. Free childcare services are available.
The following day, Thursday, October 22, at the same time and at the Germanes Güell Library, a writing workshop will be held, led by writer and social educator Raquel Gámez-Serrano. Gámez-Serrano has a background in novels, short stories, and essays. Prior registration is required.
The cycle will conclude on Sunday, October 25, at 12 PM, at the old slaughterhouse (Carrer de la Solana). A roundtable discussion will focus on crime literature written by women, a genre that often addresses issues such as gender-based violence and social inequalities. The session will feature writers Raquel Gámez-Serrano, Montse Sanjuan, and Anna Maria Villalonga, and will be moderated by journalist and writer Gemma Peris. The event will include a wine tasting from the Analec winery.
