The Creation of Feminist Consciousness by Gerda Lerner
This history of feminism sweeps over more than 1000 years of Western history, discussing such topics as the educational disadvantages faced by women, the role of women mystics, the concept of motherhood as a means of female bonding, creative literary women and the struggle for equal education.
Gerda Lerner (1920-2013) was a prominent historian, activist, educator, writer, and one of the founders of the study of women's history. She received her PhD in history from Columbia University, and at her first academic post at Sarah Lawrence College, she developed the first graduate program in women's history. She went on to teach at University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she created the first PhD program in women's history in the United States. Lerner is the editor of Black Women in White America: A Documentary History, and is the author of many publications, including The Creation of Patriarchy and Why History Matters: Life and Thought.
