Chicago Network for Justice and Peace sponsors the following books:
Our Voice
produced by the International PEN Women Writers Committee, a four volume tri-lingual anthology (English, French, Spanish) of poetry, fiction and essays contributed by 113 women from 33 countries. Volume 1 includes author surnames A-M; Volume 2 includes author surnames N-Z. Volume 3 gathers together poems and short stories written by women in English, French and Spanish.
NUESTRA VOZ: VOLUME 4 is an anthology of the Women Writers Committee of International PEN, which consists in a selection of literary texts written by women coming from various PEN Centers throughout the world.
As Judith Raphael Buckrich explains in her editor's note, "The result has been the most kaleidoscopic range of submissions that anyone could have imagined. Every aspect of life is explored and every style of writing used to bring the spectrum of women's lives in the twenty-first century to the reader."
And One Wednesday
Mexican writer Martha Cerda’s daring testimonial novel about the gas leak in the sewer system of Guadalajara in 1992, documentary fiction using local reports from radio, television and newspapers, and the real names of public figures as well as imaginary characters representing different sectors of the stratified society of Guadalajara.
To Make Ourselves Heard

Conditional Liberty
