==================== HES POSTING ==================== [NOTE: This message originally appeared on the femecon-l list, and has been modified slightly by me to fit HES. -- RBE] FROM: Janet Seiz 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. ============ FOOTER TO HES POSTING ============ For information, send the message "info HES" to [log in to unmask]
