Monday.COME
“Feminine Writing Movement: A conversation about sex and love”

Instead of writing academic books, this professor who studies sexuality writes autobiographies and this lecturer who teaches gender writes novels. But why is that? It is certainly not for fame. So is it for themselves or other women? They have opened their doors. Where do they lead to?

Professor Petula Ho Sik Ying talked to housewives in Hong Kong, captured images of love and wrote her new book I Am Ho Sik Ying, Age 55. Lecturer Ms. Ho Kiu Chor wrote about lives of women and connects thousands of online readers in her new work Tens Years Is Not Too Late. Let us start off this year’s Monday.COME with a casual yet extraordinary discussion.
