Feminist Mary Thom Dies in Motorcycle Crash

Renowned feminist and former Ms. Magazine editor Mary Thom was killed in a motorcycle crash on the Saw Mill Parkway in Yonkers, N.Y., Friday evening. She was 68. Thom worked her way up from an entry-level position to become executive editor in a career at the magazine spanning over 25 years. "She was always there as a guiding hand to make sure that the spirit of feminism came through in everything we wrote," said Eleanor Smeal, the magazine's publisher and a longtime friend.
