Yes, I just read Claudia's Dewey lecture again this morning. It is also so very characteristically her perspective, in that she expresses gratitude to her many wonderful teachers, aware that their struggles, many as Jews, led them to see her with compassion and to offer her guidance and support. From beginning to the very end, Claudia was grateful for the life she had, even with the many struggles it involved. She was paying it forward before anyone knew what that phrase meant.

Reading both Tom and Alison just now reminded me that Claudia gave a Dewey Lecture (the ones in which a person talks about her life) at an APA meeting. It would be in some APA proceedings. It's well worth reading for many reasons, but I think of it now because she talks about "find her voice," beginning to publish, the community of feminist philosophers in midwest SWIP, and much more.

At the urging of Alison Jaggar (and through her, Diana Meyers), I am sharing with FEAST-L the comment Sandra Bartky asked me to post on Facebook. I'll just quote the entire Facebook post, as it includes a bit more about my conversation with Sandy about Claudia. (I should note also that, over the years, Sandy has shared many stories about her friendship with Claudia, ranging from both happy and not-so-happy stories about Midwest SWIP to a shopping escapade in Chicago.) Here is the Facebook post:
Just had a wonderful hour chatting with Sandra Bartky. The occasion was to let her know about our loss of Claudia Card, and Sandy asked me to post on FB this comment from her:
"Your work has taught me much, and your friendship has enriched my life. I will never forget you, dear Claudia."
So that is the main purpose of this post, but Sandy went on to reminisce about her experiences in the founding of SWIP, which started out with a few women meeting in hotel rooms at APA meetings, discussing the shared problems they were facing in their academic careers. We talked about how extraordinary it is that those informal meetings have led to SWIP becoming an international phenomenon.
After SWIP got a bit better organized, Claudia came to one of the meetings. Sandy said she seemed a bit frightened and withdrawn, altogether different from the internationally known philosopher she became! (I'm hoping young academics will extrapolate freely!)
We made a plan for Luna and I to get together with Sandy in the winter or spring and make some video recordings of her SWIP memories, and her other recollections about an amazing life. The plan is for them to be posted on youtube. Trust me, based on conversations the three of us have had in years past, she has some extraordinary tales to tell!

It is already more than a week since we lost Claudia Card. In that time, there has been an outpouring of grief but also many testimonies to a brilliant philosopher, dedicated teacher, and generous mentor. Claudia was all of these, but I’d like additionally to emphasize her extraordinary courage. In a short remembrance posted on Facebook, Sandra Bartky recalls perceiving Claudia as timid when she first started coming to mid-west SWIP in the late 1970s. I too remember Claudia at this time as being rather shrinking, with a demure braid down her back. Within a very few years, however, Claudia cut her hair and came out of the closet. With Anne Waters, I recall Claudia’s bow tie and three piece suit from Germany and I too recall Claudia dancing at the parties. After a decade of professional silence, Claudia found a new philosophical voice in the early 1980s and from then until her death she produced a powerful flow of incisive articles and books. Three decades ago, it took more courage to be a feminist philosopher than it does today, let alone a philosopher speaking with an explicitly lesbian voice. Claudia raised topics that were virtually taboo and challenged the views prevailing even among feminist and lesbian philosophers. She discussed lesbian battering and horizontal violence, sadomasochism, feminist separatism, and adult child sex, arguing against marriage and motherhood and even opposing same sex marriage. Later in her career, Claudia addressed directly and deeply topics that many philosophers shrink from thinking about, including mass atrocities and genocidal rape. I was frequently struck by Claudia’s vast empirical knowledge about what she called these secular evils, research that must have been deeply disturbing but which made possible her moral insights. Over the past year, Claudia faced her impending death with a calmness and good humor that many of us found inspirational. Courage should be recognized as a central philosophical virtue and no one had more of it than Claudia Card. We will try to be worthy of you, Claudia!
Much love,
Alison.

Subject: Re: Claudia Card
I want to add my words to Bonnie's. Claudia was a true mentor, not only bringing to us her pioneering lucid radical feminist .lesbian feminist thought, but i agree with bonnie, a model senior mentor to juniors. She had already reviewed an essay, in detail, that i had contributed to a non academic theory book called Unlearning Saodomasochism edited by Irene Reti. she showed an amazing generosity as an academic--indeed a *renowned* academic-- in treating a non peer reviewed book with the kind of attention it deserved, since a couple of articles were theoretically rigorous. She paid close attention to my article and especially it's non didactic proposals in a way no reviewer ever has. Years later, when i was up for tenure she wrote me a stunning review letter. I later contacted her for supportive letters of recommendation when i needed to find a new job, and she was thoroughly in agreement despite the fact that we had only met briefly years before and she might not have even remembered me. (Sandra Bartky is another example of this kind of true senior mentor).
Her aim was true. This is a big loss. As a feminist philosopher/writer suffering from cancer myself, i'm reminded of how much work there is to be done, but grateful for those who preceded me to allow me and then my students to make it go forward.
thanks to all of you who are dedicating panels and essays in appreciation of her. she went too young.
sincerely

What heartbreaking news. For me as a philosopher new to the profession in 2003, Claudia extended herself as a source of support on a number of occasions. She showed such an intense interest and level of care, I was both moved and surprised (we didn't know one another before this). She is a model for me of what a senior woman colleague can be, and can mean to someone more junior. All that above and beyond her extraordinary and important philosophical work... I won't be at FEAST this year, but I will wish I were there with the rest of you remembering her.

I know of at least two APA sessions (Eastern and Central) that had

I hope folks will use the FEAST and SWIP lists to let us know of
other such events that might be planned.
