In Memoriam: Mary Joe Frug

Abstract

New England School of Law Professor Mary Joe Frug, a leading feminist legal scholar, was violently stabbed to death on April 4, 1991, as she walked within blocks of her home in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Her senseless and brutal murder has horrified our academic communities. We send our compassion and caring to her family and close friends who are suffering most deeply from her loss. Those of us who were fortunate enough to have met Mary Joe through our work are also struggling to understand the painful circumstances of her murder and cope with the great emptiness her death leaves.
