A pioneer in feminist philosophy, Professor Pearsall was emerita in philosophy at the University of Puget Sound. I first encountered her work in Feminist Interpretations of Nietzsche (1998), a volume she co-edited and contributed to.  On an even more personal note, I should mention that her survivors include her wonderful grandson Teddy (my favorite ten-year-old in the world, as it happens) and her daughter, Sarah Pearsall, the distinguished historian at Cambridge University, to both of whom I send sincere condolences.

I will add links to memorial notices as they appear.
