About A Woman's Voice
Our Mission
A Woman’s Voice exists to foster healing after interpersonal violence and empower women to reclaim their voices — offering resources, education, and storytelling for survivors, their loved ones, and the providers, employers, community partners, and community members who support them. Through training and education, A Woman’s Voice equips individuals and organizations to engage with greater awareness and confidence in their daily interactions with victims and survivors.
Rooted in nearly 30 years of advocacy for all women survivors, A Woman’s Voice brings specialized expertise in women veterans and the unique interpersonal violence they face — including military sexual harassment, assault, and rape (MSA). Military Sexual Trauma (MST) — the term used by the Department of Veterans Affairs to describe the lasting psychological impact of MSA — is a central focus of A Woman’s Voice. MST-related PTSD is one of the most significant and underaddressed challenges facing women veterans today, and understanding the relationship between MSA and MST is essential for any organization seeking to serve this population effectively.
What We Offer
Resources and Storytelling
A Woman’s Voice offers books, personal narratives, and curated community voices that illuminate the path through healing after interpersonal violence. Our debut publication, Broken in the Stronger Places: From Resilience to Resourcefulness by Elizabeth A. Estabrooks, MSW, is available in English and Spanish. Signed copies are available exclusively at awomansvoicepress.com. The book is also available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble — links available at awomansvoicepress.com. Bulk discounts available.
Training and Curriculum Development
A Woman’s Voice partners with public and non-profit organizations at the state and national levels to develop gender-responsive, trauma-informed training curriculum tailored to the unique experiences, needs, and challenges of women veterans — with particular focus on military sexual harassment, assault, and rape (MSA) and the Military Sexual Trauma (MST) that can result from those experiences.
Founder Elizabeth A. Estabrooks is available for keynote addresses, breakout sessions, panels, and training on trauma and retraumatization, MSA, MST, intimate partner violence, gender-responsive services, and the healing journey after interpersonal violence. She has spoken at national conferences, congressional briefings, tribal summits, university forums, and media outlets including NPR and PBS.
