As a member of my dissertation committee, she was the one who did the closest reading of my work and she is the one who offered the most useful critiques. Her enthusiasm for my writing gave me courage. What I came to learn in the 25 years that I knew Peggy is that she gave the same enthusiastic support to all of her students. Everyone's work received a thorough reading and compassionate critique. She was a role model for many young historians and a kind, generous woman. Her death is a great loss.

She has been one of my favorite historians for a few years now. She always emphasized the importance of transcending artificial sub-field boundaries and looking for connections beyond your immediate field of expertise, which she demonstrated superbly in <em>What Comes Naturally</em>.

I know next to nothing about Peggy or her work, other than a brief perusal of What Comes Naturally. I sent her a query about Utah's early anti-miscegenation law in April and received a very helpful and thoughtful response. Given the circumstances, that was remarkably considerate of her.

I just checked out "Relations of Rescue" from the library a few weeks ago. Between her passing and that of Jeanne Boydston a year and a half ago, women's history is considerably poorer. Oh no!
