As we mourn this utterly devastating, untimely loss of one of the most prolific and most important feminist scholars of our time, I wanted to add my voice to those reflections about her work and her legacy. In her own words, her work consistently tried to act as a bridge between the disciplines and traditions of anthropology and feminism. For me, as a feminist activist and researcher, Malathi’s work has been indispensable to understand Sinhala Buddhist nationalism and its construction of the good woman; the relationship between the nation and its women; the politics of mourning and motherhood as well as the limits and possibilities of political activism, feminist or not, in this country. These are only a few of the many themes that she tackled in her work but they are ones that struck a chord with me.
