My WorksThe Rising of the Women: Feminist Solidarity and Class Conflict, 1880-1917
“In this searching examination of the links between feminism, trade unionism, and socialism, Tax asks why the connection between the working-class struggle and the movement for women’s liberation broke so often, and why, in the end, no lasting relationship developed.” --Library Journal This book emphasizes strategic questions and the dynamics of cross-class coalitions. Rivington Street
An epic novel of Jewish immigration centering on five women: Hannah Levy, the indomitable matriarch; her daughters Sarah, the organizer and Ruby, the entrepreneur; and their friends Rachel, the artist, and Tish, the socialite rebel, with a story that sweeps from the Kishinev pogrom to the great shirtwaist strike of 1912. Union Square
Continues the epic of Rivington Street through the Jazz Age and Depression. Sarah is a grassroots communist organizer; Ruby, a successful designer who must hide her career from her rich husband’s family; Rachel, a merry widow and single mother; and their friend Tish, a lesbian expatriate. “An impressive achievement.” --The Nation |
