The libertarian feminist Joan Kennedy Taylor, whose books include Reclaiming the Mainstream and What to Do When You Don't Want to Call the Cops -- and who played a substantial role in shepherding Charles Murray's Losing Ground to completion -- has died of cancer. I never knew her, but I admired her work, which appeared in Reason among other venues; I also appreciated her role as an editor of one of the best libertarian magazines of the '70s, Libertarian Review. Several of her articles are archived here.

The cause of liberty has been enriched by the stellar contributions of Joan Kennedy Taylor. I wish comfort to her family and friends.
I'd like to read about how she played a substantial role in shepherding Charles Murray's Losing Ground to completion. Sounds interesting.
