Death of Mary Daly
"I think she was a central figure for the feminist movement in the 20th century, and hopefully beyond," said Robin Morgan, who edited Sisterhood is Powerful: An Anthology of Writings From the Women's Liberation Movement. "She had a fierce intellect and an uncompromising soul that sometimes gave even her most loving friends indigestion, but it was worth it. She redefined the parameters of philosophy.

What a woman! I have a couple of her books; I've never actually read any of them but I love the titles: eg, Gyn/ecology, Pure Lust.
Have you read her books?
Yes, I read and loved 'Gyn/Ecology'. I love her witty, poetic, illuminating playful wordsmithing.
