Anne Donchin (1930-2014) attended graduate school while raising four children, received her doctorate from the University of Texas in 1970 , taught for 18 years in Texas and New York, then joined the Philosophy Department at IUPUI in 1982. Here she developed a Women’s Studies program, specialized and in numerous ways pioneered in feminist bioethics, and won two prestigious grants. She co-edited two books, published some forty articles, and co-founded and co-ordinated The International Network on Feminist Approaches to Bioethics (FAB). Before and after retiring she served on the editorial boards of an encyclopedia, several international bioethics collections and nine prestigious journals. Her publications have influenced many scholars here and abroad. In September 2015 the New York Society for Women in Philosophy dedicated its program to her; and in 2016 she will be similarly honored in Scotland. On 2 December 2015 the Gender Alliance for Development in Tirana, Albania, opened a new library which includes a collection of feminist books and journals donated by and dedicated to Anne Donchin.
