The International Women's Day didn't go unnoticed by President Shimon Peres!

He was the host of the Literary Club meeting at his Jerusalem's Residence, 27 February 2013, entitled, "A Salute to Creative Women".

Participating at the meeting were authors Dorit Rabinyan & Yochi Brandes, Journalist Mika Almog (who's also the President's grand daughter) and Shiri Artzi as hostess (who's also the daughter of Shlomo Artzi).

Here's Yochi Brandes discussing her novel "Seven Mothers" and her quest after secret stories within Jewish culture & literature, especially those about the defeated groups throughout history, the largest one being ... women.

Adding that even when men did write about women they've done it from a male POV which motivated her to seek those rare examples of women writing about women.
