Beloved Quaker historian/herstorian Margaret Hope Bacon recently died.
I knew Margaret from the Meeting where I first came to Quakerism. She was an amazing woman as well as a wonderful historian. She also told women's untold herstories.
I believe every modern Goddess worshiper, Pagan, Witch, Feminist Witch, and feminist should read Mothers of Feminism... at least once. :)
Margaret's obituary in the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Beloved (and controversial) elder, author, and scholar Merlin Stone also died recently. When God Was a Woman still remains one of the most essentially thought-provoking books ever for many women when it comes to religion and spirituality.
They are both sorely missed; but so many give thanks for their long lives, well-lived.
