Read MoreDear Charlotte, the feminist foundations you laid for in the anthropology and history of medicine in China for those in pursuit of textual analyses are so very valuable. Thank you for this.

Charlotte was a mentor and role model for me when I came to USC. I will never forget her gentle laugh that would often accompany an insightful criticism; it made you feel seen, appreciated, and also provoked you to take a second look and realize what you were missing. Her generosity to young colleagues was tremendous. My condolences to everyone in the family and close to her. She was a unique and glorious person and will be greatly missed.
