Women of the Underground: Resistance is set for a 2017 release. This collection of interviews were taken from conversations that lasted for 2 to 3 hours between Zora and the founders of the organizations or core organizers of the movements. What started out to be a celebration of how far we've come and to honor these women for their work has turned into a call to action. These discussions outline the women's lives, a recalling of the movements from the front lines, the history of the organizations and a guide book to civil disobedience and DIRECT ACTION. Oppression for one is oppression of all, this year we must all fight for our human rights. The book includes:
