Book Review: Living History/Making Social Change by Gerda Lerner

In lieu of the National Women’s History Project’s 30th anniversary, we want to spotlight Gerda Lerner, an important scholar who is credited for teaching the first women’s history course in the nation, establishing the first graduate program in women’s history and with  mentoring women’s history scholars.

Her book “Living History and Making Social Change” is a medly of a vivid  memoir, teaching manual and a colorful account of  her uphill battle with bringing “her” into “his”-tory.

Her collection of essays also creatively details  her efforts of transforming history and society through the study of women’s lives. It’s not everyday that a decadent book by an expansive intellectual, a feminist theorist, an imaginative educator, and a relentless political activist is published for all.

 So in honor of this great crusader for women’s right to learn about ”her”-story, we are honoring her contributions to women’s history by offering her latest book Living with History/Making Social Change at a 30% DISCOUNT.
