JOAN ROTHSCHILD

Joan and I were graduate students together at NYU in the 1960s. Joan was a pioneering scholar in feminist studies and an inspiration to the small cohort of women in the Ph.D. program in political science. We were awed by the depth and breadth of her knowledge. Joan and I lost touch with each other after she moved to Cambridge, and I regret that I did not know she had returned to the New York Area. I would very much like to know when and where the memorial service will take place. Please...

I MET JOAN MANY YEARS AGO THROUGH MY SISTER BETTY..JOAN WAS MY SISTER'S CLOSEST AND OLDEST FRIEND AND WE BECAME GOOD FRIENDS .
I SPOKE TO JOAN ON THE PHONE JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO, BUT SHE DID NOT REPLY TO A TEST E-MAIL MESSAGE THAT I SENT TO HER....MAYBE IT ARRIVED TOO LATE.

I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE CONTACT INFORMATION, PHONE NUMBER AND OR E-MAIL ADDRESS, FOR HER SISTER RUTH AND HER NIECE ALEXANDRIA HETH.

The members of the Women's City Club of New York were saddened to hear the news of Joan's death. She will be remembered as a loyal and active member of WCC and of our Environment and Infrastructure Committee. She will be deeply missed.

Please let me know when her memorial service is scheduled. I will inform our members.

Our deepest condolences on your loss.

Joan's contributions to the Society for the History of Technology included a close study of the articles in Technology and Culture, showing how few were authored by women. She initiated the practice of double-blind submissions to the periodical, helping it to be a more inclusive and fair minded journal. She will be sorely missed.

Joan was an incredibly special person to many of us in the history of technology community. Intellectually, her work helped open new avenues of study that have excited subsequent scholars. On the personal level, her vivacious nature always made it a joy to see her at conferences and meetings. I will deeply miss seeing Joan every year at the Society for the History of Technology and the Women in Technological History gatherings - but I will always have her books on my shelves to remind me of...

I am saddened to learn of Joan's death. I am one of the colleagues from the Society for the History of Technology and one of the feminist scholars whose work Joan anthologized. I hope that you will notify me when you have scheduled a memorial service; I can then notify the other members of WITH (Women in Technological History) and organization that Joan helped create.
