Abstract

Sandra Bem, pioneering feminist and psychologist, recently left the world on her own terms after receiving a diagnosis of dementia. For many, that is the essence of a good death – exercising autonomy, exiting with dignity, at a time of her choosing, with the company of family and friends, while she remained herself – still a person, and even better, still the same person. The manner of her death, by suicide, is somehow consistent with the pioneering quality and originality of her life and work, and dramatically raises the issue of choice at the end of life.
