Mary Thom Dies in Cycle Crash

Prominent feminist writer and longtime Ms. editor Mary Thom was killed in a motorcycle crash on Friday, my local paper reports today.  Yes, I met her a couple of times in the 1970s.  She was a longtime cyclist and never owned a car.  Besides her books and editing work, she was a consultant for several non-profit women’s organizations, including the National Council for Research on Women and the Women’s Media Center.
