Margery Jones WOLF

Just sending sympathy, Mac; and also gladness that you are not so terribly alone as some are. Although I'm sure this period of the year will always be bittersweet, I'm glad you've found friendship and love again.

A remarkable woman!

I knew Margery best while I was a graduate student at Stanford in the 1970s. Her work was an inspiration, and she was always extremely helpful and encouraging in responding to my early efforts. Her legacy in feminist studies is unmatched. I will miss her enormously both as an acute an emphathetic observer of life, qualities evident both in her work and in her person.

So sorry for your so sudden loss. You, Mac, were the light of her later life. She, Margery, was one of the brightest lights of my anthropological career. From our first encounters to the last, she was ever unflinchingly honest and committed to understanding how people, communities and cultures operated. Her work and example has inspired an entire generation of feminist anthropologists. She will be missed.

Dear Mac and family: Because I came to Iowa as Margery retired, I did not meet her in person until a few years later in California. But I've loved teaching her feminist work in both intro courses and graduate seminars. What an important legacy. Meena

Dear Mac: I am so sad to hear this news today from Cecilia. Margery was a wonderful colleague, mentor, and friend to me. She recruited me into women's studies and was a great example of true devotion to scholarship. Love, Sally J. Kenney

Mac, I'm so sorry to hear of Margery's passing. Take comfort in knowing her her radiant light will continue to shine on in other ways.

I first "met" Margery Wolf as an undergraduate assigned to read House of Lim in an Anthro class at Brown; I then had the great pleasure to meet and become friends with her and Mac when we were all on the faculty at Iowa. Cecilia Ridgeway and I still remember dinner parties in Iowa City, hikes, visits at the "cabin" and in Santa Rosa. It was a great joy to know Margery Wolf.

I met Margery (and Mac) as a doctoral student at U Iowa. For me, Margery was always indeed "bigger than life," yet so down-to-earth in her interactions. We shared an interest in Coyote as sentient creature and cultural trickster. I felt I came to know her closer during the Hadrian's Wall walk that Mac and I made in the summer of 2015--Mac told so many stories and spoke of his respect and enduring love for Margery. She was and will always remain an inspiration. As another guest wrote, I too am...
