Sad news: In memory of Jacqueline Kirk, co-founder and co-editor of Girlhood Studies

I just read this tremendously sad news and thought I should share since Jacqueline Kirk (who I unfortunately never met) was an advocate and leader in the field of girls studies research and an activist who actually put herself in harm's way to make the world a better place for girls. She and two aid workers were killed in Afghanistan last month while doing just that. You can see the Girlhood Studies statement about Kirk to learn more about her work and what happened. 

My thoughts go out to her family and colleagues.
