VCA’s Arts and Humanities series will present “The Story of Hedgebrook” at 7 p.m. Sunday at the Kay White Hall.

Established in 1988, through the vision and generosity of Seattle philanthropist Nancy Nordhoff, Hedgebrook has achieved an international reputation as a retreat for a growing global community of women writers. They have lived and worked in its cottages, generating thousands of novels, poems, plays, screenplays, memoirs and works of non-fiction. Hedgebrook alumnae and faculty include, among others, Gloria Steinem, Ruth Ozeki, Jane Hamilton, and Eve Ensler. Nordhoff and Amy Wheeler, Hedgebrook’s executive director, plus two or three alumni will share Hedgebrook’s unique story and some of the work created during the writers’ retreats.
