Gwen Suesse has lived the modern womans conundrums:&bsp; Gloriously complicated, womens lives are a dizzying, delicious array of blessings, circumstances, challenges, responsibilities and yearnings, somehow to be woven into a daring, cohesive, joyous whole. Womansong, Balance and Harmony in a Feminine Key,&bsp; by Gwen Suesse, addresses these issues in a book of essays and illustrated quotes.

Suesse will be the featured speaker at the Area Association of University Women, Tryon Branch on Monday, October 25 at 1 p.m. at the Tryon Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall. She will share the how and why of her writing experience and will read from her book. Audience participation will be part of the program.

Suesse has a B.A. in music from Wagner College, and an M.A.T. from Harvard University. She is a certified teacher, choral conductor, speaker, presenter and workshop facilitator, as well as being a human resources consultant.

The program is open to the community and refreshments will be served.
