Tax has written a history book, The Rising of the Women:
Feminist Solidarity and Class Conflict, 1880-1917; two
historical novels, Rivington Street and Union Square,
and a children's picture book, Families, which became
a censorship case in 1993 when it was attacked by the Christian
Coalition for its non-traditional approach to family structure.
She also writes political and literary essays, frequently
for The Nation. In 1986, Tax initiated the PEN American
Center Women's Committee with Grace Paley; she became founding
Chair of the International PEN Women Writers Committee in
