Joanna Russ in Hospice Following Strokes
It is always unfortunate to hear of someone experiencing a stroke–a neurological event that erases functions, memories, and eventually the self. It is particularly difficult to accept something so terrible happening to someone you respect a great deal. This is the now the case with Joanna Russ.

I have wrote on Joanna Russ’ scholarship in a previous post here.
UPDATE: I am afraid that Joanna Russ has passed away. More information here.
