Dear friends, 
I write with terribly sad news.  Michele Pujol died on Saturday morning, 
August 2, after a courageous five-month battle with colorectal cancer. She 
died on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, in the home of her partner 
Brook; it's a beautiful place, surrounded by trees and flowers.  She was 
very very well cared for in her last months, by Brook and many loving 
friends. 
 
As most of you will know, Michele was the author of FEMINISM AND 
ANTI-FEMINISM IN EARLY ECONOMIC THOUGHT (Edward Elgar, 1992), a 
pathbreaking analysis of the treatment of women and gender relations in 
classical and early-neoclassical economics.  Her address to the 1993 
Amsterdam conference on feminist economics appears in OUT OF THE MARGIN, 
edited by Edith Kuiper and Jolande Sap (Routledge, 1995).  Michele also 
edited the "Explorations" section on feminist economic methodology in the 
most recent issue of FEMINIST ECONOMICS. When she became ill in the 
spring, she was engaged in two large projects:  a collection of 19th 
century women's writings on economic issues, and a study of the 
implementation of pay equity policies in Manitoba.  Friends have 
undertaken to make sure those projects are completed for publication. 
 
Michele and Brook requested that people not send flowers, but instead 
make contributions to a scholarship fund being set up at the University 
of Victoria (where Michele taught) for Women's Studies students who are 
low- income, lesbian, women of color, and/or Native women. Those 
interested can contact Janet Seiz [or Ross Emmett] for details.
