2. “Expresion Y Colour” Video Night Benefit Friday, August 27 at 6pm

1. Toronto Women’s Bookstore and ECW Press Present:
An evening with the women of Mamma Mia! Good Italian Girls Talk Back! (ECW Press)
Collected by Maria Coletta McLean

Wednesday, August 25, 2004 at 7pm
Toronto Women’s Bookstore
73 Harbord St (west of Spadina, south of Bloor)
Free admission
Light Refreshments provided
Wheelchair accessible
All are welcome to attend

Join contributors Maria Coletta McLean, Luciana Ricciutelli, Anna Nobile, Rosanna Battigelli, Maria Montini, Francesca Schembri, Ivana Barbieri and others reading from selections from the book. This collection brings together 18 Italian-Canadian women who share their stories. Intimate, inspiring, brave, and confessional, these tales reveal women old enough to reminisce yet young enough to revolutionize. Balancing between the Old Country and the new, a respect for tradition and the need to break with it, this collection is a rare and surprising blend of humour and candor.

2. TWB and Gatuna Productions presents “Expression Y Colour” a video night benefit to support the production of the film “Mexican Refugee” (to be released December 2004)
We will be screening the following films:
