Truly horrible news. 

Sandy taught me so much about how to be a thinker and an activist, navigating the tensions between theory and practice with such creativity. She helped me understand my own intellectual roots. She showed me the legitimacy of our feminist philosophical world at a time when its alleged illegitimacy was in my face on a day-to-day basis. She was a revolutionary. 

And what a great group the early 1980's Midwest SWIP was! There were so many truly enormous accomplishments in which Sandy had a major leadership role. 

Every time we ask our students to read some of Sandra Bartky's work, we will be sustaining the blessing she bestowed.
