Barbara Brenner, former executive director of BCA, passed away

Ms. Brenner died of complications from ALS. Under her leadership, BCA coined the term "pink washing" and launched the Think Before You Pink campaign. I know that many women on these boards are sick of Pinktober and would be interested in knowing that she passed. Her obituary in the San Francisco Chronicle was full of details of her attempts to change the focus away from awareness toward causes and prevention, but it is only available to subscribers. The link below also documents her accomplishments. I thought it was great to see the points made on these boards included in mainstream reporting about her.
