Marilyn B. Young in memoriam (1-5)

Oh No! This is a huge loss for our discipline and also, for her country. I knew her through her work on Vietnam. But in 2008, when I was presenting a paper on the Mediterranean during the Cold War at Columbia, she dropped in to listen to it. I was awestruck. This larger than life historian was there actually asking questions of me and patiently listening to my answers. Afterwards, we had a long chat. She was direct and shared her knowledge generously. For women historians like me, she was a pathbreaker and we owe her so, so much! RIP
