Gerda Lerner
Women’s history is the primary tool for women’s emancipation.
Gerda Lerner

When female stories are muted, we are teaching our kids that their dignity is second class and the historical accounts of their lives [are] less relevant. This lowered value carries over when women face sexual objectification and systemic brutalization from inside and outside the community.
Aurin Squire
