The book Women's Voices: The Wisdom of the Grandmothers, by Susan Stark Christianson, initially grew out of a desire to help advance the status of women in Russia's Sakha Republic (Yakutia). Since it was published in 2010, the project has grown in scope and content. We are currently involved in making a documentary that includes women from the farthest North in Siberia to South America. We hope to release the video in February of 2012.

It is our hope that those who read the book and the wisdom shared within it, and those who see our completed documentary, will be inspired and touched. It is our hope and prayer that all who read Women's Voices will be emboldened to follow their own path, enlightened in their despair, enriched in their sense of who they are and embraced by the love and the beauty that surrounds us. Our prayer is that the voices of all women will be heard throughout the world, and that as we listen, we will heal not only ourselves and future generations of women, but our mother earth as well.
