The Creation of Feminist Consciousness, by Gerda Lerner

Breaking Down Patriarchy - A podcast by Amy McPhie Allebest - Tuesdays

Did you know that women wrote plays, music, and essays during the Middle Ages and Renaissance? Did you know that women wrote feminist Biblical commentary for over 1,000 years, unknowingly repeating each other’s ideas? Gerda Lerner laments the continual “reinventing of the wheel,” as generation after generation struggled with the same questions and the same pain, unaware of the women who had come before them. Join Amy McPhie Allebest and Janette Canare as they highlight some of these women’s voices during their discussion of Gerda Lerner’s The Creation of Feminist Consciousness.
