Requim for a Sociologist. Jessie Barnard died at age 83. Her writings began with a broad look at Social Problems at Mid-Century and ended with a much more focussed examination of patriarchy which lead to a series of foundational feminist writings which continue to inspire women and men alike who are interested in social justice and the enlargement of the human project. Jessie Barnard was born in Minneapolis, daughter to immigrant shop-keepers. She supported her husband, L.L. Bernard bearing his children and his work along with her own academic career. Dr. Bernard 'retired' from Penn State in 1964; she was 61 and just beginning her major work. She then wrote The Sex Game, The Female World, The Future of Marriage, The Future of Motherhood, Women and the Public Interest as well as many other such ground-breaking work. The "Jessie Barnard Award," of the ASA continues to recognize her work and the mentoring for which she is rightly honored. Graduate Students who would like to know more about Bernard may look at her bio in ASA Footnotes, Nov., 1996, from which much of the information in this tribute comes.
