Catherine Daly currently lives in Los Angeles, where she restores historic homes. She is a former technical architect who finds this particular work newly relevant, as SERM inhibitors have negatively impacted her memory and she is separating from her partner of 18 years. The author of nine books and eBooks, Daly engages process, technology, feminism, and the "queen of the sciences."
