JANET BENSHOOF Obituary
We mourn the loss of our dear friend, Janet Benshoof, and express our deepest condolences to her beloved husband, Alfred Meyer, sons Eli and David Klein, and the extended family. Fearless, funny, uncommonly creative, compassionate and strategic, Janet tirelessly worked to assert the reproductive rights of women and girls. Most recently on the international stage, she effectively championed the recognition and application of such rights in times of war and civil conflict. She truly led the way. Amy Goldman Fowler, Cary Fowler, Martin Fowler, Sara Goldman Arno, and the Lillian Goldman Charitable Trust
