One of the essays in her early collection, Working it Out_ saved my life when I was struggling with my dissertation.  I've since recommended it to many others.

I think I met Sally on only a few occasions.  Yet, she exuded such warmth that she made me feel like an old friend.  Her groundbreaking work captured that spirit.

   This is overwhelmingly sad news. She had such clear insight, and was a wonderful friend. I saw her in the rehab facility and am stunned by this great loss to us all.

I am truly saddened and will miss her. Sally was such a basically good person. I continue to draw on her work.

At least I am glad we have Joan and Nancy's film of her. We could show clips at any memorial.

Good wishes to all,
Alison

How very sad.  What a loss to the philosophical community, and to feminist philosophy in particular.

No the universe will not be the same.  I want to believe in the immortality of the soul because such a beautiful soul should never leave us.  This is so painful.  Thank you for informing us Joan.

It is with great sadness that I write that Sally Ruddick died last evening after a long, brave struggle with Parkinson’s Disease.

I don’t know much about the details, except that Sally died peacefully.  I will send more information if and when I have it.
