What do you get when you combine a teen anxious to escape her country, a contentious factory environment, and rising political tensions? The answer: Michelle Gallen's comedic and poignant novel, "Factory Girls." Join us on March 25th at 10 AM on Zoom to fly back to 1994 and hear about this hilarious and tension-filled story from the author herself.

Michelle Gallen was born in County Tyrone in the mid 1970s and grew up during the Troubles a few miles from the border between what she was told was the"‘Free" State and the "United" Kingdom. She studied English literature at Trinity College Dublin and won several prestigious prizes as a young writer. Following a devastating brain injury in her mid-twenties, she co-founded three award-winning companies and won international recognition for digital innovation. She now lives in Dublin with her husband and kids.
