The Women in Zen Working Group was formed in 2024 by Sensei Traven Fusho Rice, Jean Yugetsu Carlomusto, Sarah Joren Drury, Sal Kenzen Randolph and Ara Fitzgerald, all longtime members of the Village Zendo in New York.

Their goal is to study and document the lives and work of Zen women pioneers, especially the first generation of women Roshis in the United States.
