This year, through a grant from the Kentucky Foundation for Women, she's sharing writing from women's and LGBTQ groups, and reads some of the poems on Sounds Good

"It's been a long time since we've been discussing gender equality in my lifetime and I still haven't seen as much progress as I would hope to see," Constance Alexander says.

The luncheon is Monday, March 7 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. Board of Regents member Susan Guess is the keynote speaker. Faculty and staff are $14, students $10.
