 | | If Marjorie Williams, wife, mother, and Washington journalist who died Sunday of cancer at age 47, had been blessed with better health, more of our InkWell readers would know enough about her to mourn with us here at InkWell. |
 | | Williams, a former Washington Post staff writer who became a regular contributor to Vanity Fair during the 1990s before her lengthy battle with the disease that killed her, was a Democrat and a doctrinaire feminist, not the sort of woman we usually go for here. |
 | | During her last years, as the disease got the better of her, Williams contributed occasional (that was the best she could manage) and heartbreaking op-ed pieces to the Post about her children, her struggles to get through each medicated day, and the values of honesty and compassion that she held dear. |
