Matri, Letters from the Mother, is a small, very intimate collection of letters from the Divine Mother to the women of the world. It speaks of hope and kindness, prayer and stillness, peace and light. The author, Zoë Ann Nicholson, uses this literary device to express her heart and her knowledge of the Mother. It is succinct, elegant and can be read again and again. It belongs in a purse, on a puja, next to a bed. It is dear, timeless and filled with love.
Activist, author and speaker, Zoe Nicholson holds a B.A. in Theology, Quincy University, 1969 and a M.A. in Ethics, USC, 1975. She began her professional life teaching high school for five years. In 1976, she opened and operated The Magic Speller Bookstore, a women's bookstore in Newport Beach, CA. In 1982, she joined six women in Springfield, Illinois., in a public and political fast for 37 days in support of the Equal Rights Amendment. Her memoir is The Hungry Heart ~ A Women's Fast for Justice, from Lune Soleil Press.
With the close of her independent bookstore, she served for a year as Director of the Orange County Free Clinic. In 1985, she completed the professional computer program at Computer Learning Center and worked in hi tech, software development and recruiting for fifteen years. Since 2001, she is founding partner and manages Eclipse Data Systems and Eclipse Global. She is a member of the ERA Roundtable, a life-long member of NOW and proud member of the Veteran Feminists of America.
