She was a founder and original member of the South End Press Collective, as well as Z Magazine, which she co-edited and co-produced. She organized the Z Communications Institute every year and taught classes there. She was also a member of the interim consultative committee of the International Organization for a Participatory Society.[1]
Her plays include "I Read About My Death In Vogue Magazine" and "Playbook" with Maxine Klein and Howard Zinn. She edited Women and Revolution: The Unhappy Marriage of Marxism and Feminism,[2] which features a lead essay by Heidi Hartmann.
