Cagen's essays have appeared in newspapers and magazines including the Village Voice, Utne Reader, and Men's Health. Cagen got her start as a writer in the "girl zine revolution," writing about topics ranging from the class politics of attending an elite women's college to the taste of grape soda and the fear of being pushed or pushing someone else into the subway tracks. During the mid-nineties in New York, Cagen co-edited the self-published Cupsize. In 2010 Cagen left San Francisco to travel in South America where she also promoted Quirkyalone in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
