large PAPERBACK, fresh attractive copy, appears unused. LERNER, GERDA. Fireweed: a political autobiography. Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2002, xiii, 377pp., . Series: Critical perspectives on the past "In Fireweed, Gerda Lerner, a pioneer and leading scholar in women's history, tells her story of moral courage and commitment to social change with a novelist's skill and a historian's command of context. Lerner's memoir focuses on the formative experiences that made her an activist for social justice before her academic career began. The child of a well-to-do Viennese Jewish family, she was still a teenager when a fascist regime came to power in 1934, and she became involved in the underground resistance movement. The Nazi takeover of Austria cast her into prison, then forced her and her family into exile; she alone was able to leave Europe. Once in the United States, she experienced the harshness of the Depression and despair over the fate of her family. Still, she persisted in adapting to the new culture and to becoming a writer. Here she met and married her life-long partner, Carl Lerner, a film editor and director. Together they become deeply involved in left-wing activities, from struggling to unionize the film industry and resisting the blacklist in Hollywood to community organizing for peace, for an interracial civil rights movement, and for better schools in New York City. Lerner insists that her decades of grassroots organizing largely account for the theoretical insights she was later able to bring to the development of women's history.". 9781592132362 ISBN 1592132367.…

Rústica ilustrada con solapas. Zustand: Bueno. 21 x 14 cm. 437. Rústica ilustrada con solapas. Traducción: Ivana Palibrk.Bibliografía.Índice.Gerda Lerner complementa La creación del patriarcado, documentando doce siglos de conflicto en los que las mujeres pelearon por liberar sus mentes del pensamiento patriarcal y por construir una conciencia feminista. En definitiva, como la propia autora dice, por crear la Historia de las mujeres. Con una narrativa rica en ejemplos e ilustrada con retratos de autoras, Lerner traza una línea desde la Edad Media hasta el siglo XIX, mostrando distintas vías por las que las mujeres han luchado por su autonomía y por tener una voz propia. Hildegarda de Bingen, Juliana de Norwich, las tardías místicas protestantes y otras grandes literatas, desde Christine de Pisan hasta Emily Dickinson, todas ellas tuvieron que hacer frente a la falta de una genealogía de autoras teniendo que inventar la rueda en cada desarrollo intelectual.
