Her books include such titles as 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution and I Am Not a Number!. She also writes for a number of magazines, notably Backwoods Home Magazine. A common subject in these articles is the fictional town of Hardyville, a rural libertarian enclave populated by stereotypical characters (Dora-the-Yalie, Bob-the-Nerd, Carty-the-Marine, etc.).

She wrote her first book, 101 Things to Do 'Til the Revolution, as the result of her disillusionment with the voting record of Republican Linda Smith of Washington state, whom she had helped to get elected to Congress in 1994. The book advocated a radical libertarian stance, opposed both major political parties, and encouraged self-sufficiency and individual actions to minimize the influence of government in ones own life, as well as ideas (intended only in jest, of course), for monkeywrenching. It was published by Loompanics Unlimited and became an underground best-seller.

Wolfe has recently opposed the REAL ID Act. She has argued that the act creates a de facto national ID, a topic which she has previously referred to as a "line in the sand".
