Gerda Lerner
Gerda Hedwig Lerner (April 30, 1920 – January 2, 2013) was an Austrian-born American historian and author. In addition to her numerous scholarly publications, she wrote poetry, fiction, theater pieces, screenplays, and an autobiography. She served as president of the Organization of American Historians in 1980-81 and in 1980 was appointed Robinson Edwards Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she taught until retiring in 1991.
Lerner was one of the founders of the field of women's history. In 1963, while still an undergraduate at the New School for Social Research, she taught "Great Women in American History", which is considered to be the first regular college course on women's history offered anywhere. She also taught at Long Island University from 1965 to 1967. She played a key role in the development of women's history curricula and was involved in the development of degree programs in women's history at Sarah Lawrence College (where she taught from 1968 to 1979 and established the nation's first master's degree program in women's history) and at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she launched the first Ph.D. program in women's history. She also worked at Duke University and Columbia University, where she was a co-founder of the Seminar on Women.
==Early life==
Gerda Lerner was born Gerda Hedwig Kronstein in Vienna, Austria, on April 30, 1920, the first child of Ilona (née Neumann) and Robert Kronstein, an affluent Jewish couple. Her father was a pharmacist, her mother an artist with whom Gerda, according to her autobiography, had a strained relationship. Following the 1938 Anschluss, she was involved with the anti-Nazi resistance and spent six weeks, including her eighteenth birthday, in an Austrian jail, occupying a cell with two gentile women held on political grounds who shared their food because Jews received restricted rations.〔(Ramde, Dinesh. "Gerda Lerner: Pioneering feminist Lerner, UW professor dies" ''Milwaukee Journal Sentinel'' January 4, 2013 )〕 Her family was able to emigrate from Austria, since her father had opened a branch of the family business in Liechtenstein, where he stayed. Her mother moved to France, and Lerner's sister relocated to Palestine. In 1939, Gerda immigrated to the United States under the sponsorship of the family of her fiance, Bobby Jensen, a socialist.
