In Memory of Elizabeth Fox-Genovese: Secular, Liberal to Pro-life Feminist

Filed under: Feminism — David @ 1:10 PM

Elizabeth Fox-Genovese died earlier this week, on Tuesday January 2nd, at the age of 65 from complications due to surgery. She began her career as an atheist, feminist scholar but her sharp mind and open heart soon led her to the truth about abortion and eventually to her conversion to the Catholic Faith. She was an active member of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars, a recognized expert in the history of the American South, and a critic of radical feminism. Some testimonials follow:

From the president of the Fellowship of Catholic Scholars: Elizabeth Fox-Genovese

Robert P. George in National Review On-Line: The Story of a Life Well Lived

Her obituary in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution: Dr. Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Unorthodox Scholar

The Chronicle of Higher Education: Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Maverick in History and Women’s Studies, Dies at 65

From Deal Hudson: Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, RIP

Please join me in praying for her husband and family, and for her eternal soul.

May the souls of the faithfully departed, rest in peace.

Just last month the Anscombe Society of Princeton University held a conference on marriage, family, and sexuality which was dedicated to the memory of Professor Elizabeth Fox-Genovese. [...]
