Gerda Lerner, R.I.P.

Feminist author Gerda Lerner died earlier this week.

Korva Coleman of NPR wrote a nice tribute  to a woman whose name is rarely mentioned outside feminist academia:

A prolific feminist author, Lerner wrote texts that traced the history of patriarchy going back thousands of years to more modern topics, such as African American women's history. Her many books included a two volume work called 'Women in History': the first book examined the history of patriarchy and the second dealt with the start of feminist consciousness.

Lerner was 92-years-old.
