As far as I know the example you mention was the work of Andrea James, and not Conway, but Conway's continued collaboration with someone that cruel and unhinged is, I think, an aspect of her life that shouldn't be ignored. (Does it cancel out her many unambiguously positive and praiseworthy achievements? No. People are complicated.)
