Photo of Gerda Lerner, the “godmother of women’s history,” fled Nazi-occupied Austria and became an accomplished historian and advocate for female scholars. She established the first graduate programs in women’s history and fought to include and empower women in the study of history.
“Everything that explains the world has in fact explained a world that does not exist, a world in which men are at the center of the human enterprise and women are at the margin ‘helping' them. Such a world does not exist - never has.”
