We at Bellevue Literary Press mourn the passing of Meredith Tax, our beloved friend and author of A Road Unforeseen: Women Fight the Islamic State. Her commitment throughout her life to women’s rights, most recently with her work with Kurdish women, was central to her writing, and her political engagement was propelled by unflagging belief and infused with joy. She was an ongoing source of inspiration to us and many others.
