http://www.ebar.com/news/article.php?sec=news&article=4464Author and theologian Mary Daly, whose radical and often controversial views about sex and gender had a major influence on second-wave feminism, died January 3 after a long period of declining health. She was 81.
Announcing Ms. Daly's death in an online forum on Sunday, Mary Hunt of the Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics and Ritual wrote, "Her contributions to feminist theology, philosophy, and theory were many, unique, and if I may say so, world-changing. ... Even those who disagreed with her are in her debt for the challenges she offered."
