Pioneer in women's studies and feminist philosophy, Joyce Trebilcot was the first woman tenured in the Department of Philosophy and the co-founder of the women's studies program at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Trebilcot joined the university in 1970, and challenged it to recognize women students as legitimate members of the community and women's experiences as eminently worthy of study as men's. She was a founding member of the Society for Women in Philosophy and of the editorial board of Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy. She was the author of Dyke Ideas: Process, Politics, Daily Life (1994) and her work appeared in many periodicals and collections. Trebilcot died in May 2009 at the age of 76, survived by her partner, Janet Crites.
