Mary Dermody From: Oakland, CA Website: E-mail: maryderm@pacbell.net	Mary and Jen; thank you so much for creating this website about Jack. When I look at it I regret that I didn't get to spend much more time with all of you. I took Jack with me in my heart when I went to Ireland for my first visit last year. What a gift he left us when he finished his last book. I hope that the publishers have the vision to understand how important it is to all readers to have Jack's knowledge and insight available to all who continue to seek and learn.

Jennifer Worth From: Brooklyn, New York Website: E-mail: jennyrworth@yahoo.com	Dearest Mary and Jenny, Tears come to my eyes when I browse this sensitive and thoughtfully conceived website in tribute to Jack. Such love and tenderness have gone into this really wonderful site. It is very attractive to look at, as well as extremely informative. One gains a real sense of who Jack was, both in his personal and professional life. The excerpts from Jack's book on misogyny are truly illuminating! I want to read the entire book. I am convinced millions of other readers would feel the same given the chance. The book must be published and made available to a wide audience! The future of male/female relations depends on it. With love, respect, and admiration for you both, Jennifer Added: May 3, 2005

Dan Barry From: New York, NY Website: E-mail: dabarry@nytimes.com	Jack was a brilliant journalist, and a generous mentor to many, including me. A great writer, a great scholar, a great raconteur, a great drinking companion -- and, above all that, a great, great man. Added: May 2, 2005

Ladette Randolph From: Lincoln, NE Website: E-mail: lrandolph1@unl.edu	Jack Holland was exactly the right man to write this important history of contempt for women. I, like many others, am very anxious to see it published. Added: May 2, 2005

Gregg Lundahl From: New York City Website: E-mail: gregglund@aol.com	When we disempower women we disempower humanity. To say nothing of all the children who are being raised solely by their mothers. Jack Holland demonstrated with us twice. He stood in front of the door to keep people from crossing the picket line. Thanks Jack! Silent decency with a pen. You left us too soon. Warmest regards, Gregg Lundahl, Chapter Chair. Added: May 2, 2005

Archie Roberts From: Providence, RI Website: http://www.thegestaltgroup.com E-mail: aroberts@alum.mit.edu	A wonderful, touching tribute to a remarkable man. He is so deeply missed, by so many people, from so many places... Well done, you two. And what better time for the world to receive the gift of his last book? With the political and social implications of misogyny on the global scene today, we're all needing a deeper understanding and critical analysis of it. No one else can bring to that task what Jack brought to it, with his historical perspective, keen intelligence, commanding grasp of political affairs, and unfailing instincts as a writer. I expect that the book will not only be a terrific read--as all his books are--but an important document as well. With any luck it will soon find its way into Ted Kennedy's and Hillary Clinton's hands. Maybe even Karl Rove's. Or the library in the house of Saud. Added: May 1, 2005

Paul Boyd From: Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey Website: E-mail:	I'm hungry for "Contempt for three main reasons. One reason is Jack's personality. When he visited my home with his wife Mary, my work colleague and friend, he was fresh and charming and full of insight, making our time together both informative and fun. A neighbor who met him that day kept asking me for years after, "What's Jack Holland doing now?" The final answer is "Contempt" and we need this book in order to be back in Jack's company. Another reason is that Jack's thinking and writing are unfailingly interesting. His books that I've read -- notably "Too Long a Sacrifice" and "Druid Time" -- were compelling for their research, style and tone. When he gave a talk on Irish affairs near my home town, I had to go. You knew that he knew what he was talking about and writing about, whether the subject was the perennial Irish troubles or the Roman Empire, and that he would carry you along in fine fettle. Finally, in the continuing struggle agaisnt oppression, we need to see clearly the roots and branches of this poisoinous weed in order to eliminate them. Misogyny is the most invasive and pervasive of these weeds and comes from an ingrained ignorance surpassing even that of racism. Given the universal persistence of misogyny, I can see "Contempt" being translated into many languages and being required reading in many countries. Added: May 1, 2005
