I was inspired to do an update because I mentioned her in an item I did on Howard Zinn for bud.com. Zinn & Ehrenreich had just joined the Progressive as columnists. Links to her columns which are online are included below. She also is writing a monthly column for In These Times. Unfortunately, they do not archive her columns. Doing it for Ourselves is online at Alternet (11-28-99). Both publications are well worth subscribing to.
