高雄國際婦女會（KIWC）至今成立50年，提供國際婦女一起成長、交流與付出。活動如高爾夫球，書書會等。
最近，高雄國際婦女會葉會長正努力於復康巴士募款，也大力推動KIWC英文讀書會活動，學期初都會特地蒞臨給予我們鼓勵。

英文讀書會已成立17年，是由前副會長朱孫麗麗於2000成立, 目前會員約有12-15位。兩年前 我們也很榮幸邀請 Clive Hazell 為英文讀書會顧問。
KIWC讀書會成員來自世界各地。在高雄市鼓山區美術館路175號Qubit咖啡廳的第二個星期三13:00舉行。即便在海外，可透過過Skype討論。
我們討論範圍包羅萬象，這半學期，我們共讀如下：女孩、你應該生氣，真情快遞，被驅逐者：美國的貧窮與富裕，我的名字是璐西.波頓

我們的讀書會全年只休7月和8月。期間也有電影討論。
我們的目標：
•討論和分享有關書籍的心得
•鼓勵閱讀廣泛的書籍
•建立國際友誼
•年末會商討下年度整年書目

Geroge R.R. Martin曾經說過：讀書讓人在死亡之前活過千次...不讀書只活一次。
您會考慮和您的好友一起活過千次嗎？國際婦女讀書會是很好的選擇！
