What is this?

Welcome to the official blog for the Speaking of Silence performance project This site is a place to share your stories and thoughts about silence and to engage in a dialogue with other interested writers, artists, thinkers, activists, and people around the world on the subject of silence and the power it has in shaping who we are and how we relate to the world.

Every few days or so, I will be posting a provocative question or quote to generate more thought and responses from you. You may respond to the quote or let it be a springboard to other stories you'd like to tell in the comments section You may also submit a story unrelated to the current Post Question by hitting the comment bar.

So share! Nothing is too small or too big. And you can share as often as you like. I am hopeful that this becomes a really dynamic space for people to visit every few days.

Young Women - Speaking Up ?


Today's theme is young women. Are you a young woman? Have one as a friend? Do you think a young woman's relationship to silence is different from a young man's. How about an older woman? Why or why not?

If you are a young woman, how do you feel about silence?

Do you believe, as some have stated, that young women "talk too much"? What evidence do you have for this?

Do you believe, as others have stated, that it's harder for girls to "find their voice" and speak up as they enter their teenage years? What evidence do you have for this?

Simply click on "comments" below to respond. Be honest! Thanks.
