The Majority Finds Its Past: Placing Women in History
Lauded for its contribution to the theory and conceptualization of the field of women's history and for its sensitivity to the differences of class, ethnicity, race, and culture among women, The Majority Finds Its Past became a classic volume in women's history following its publication in 1979. This edition includes a foreword by Linda K. Kerber, introducing a new generation of readers to Gerda Lerner's considerable body of work and highlighting the importance of the essays in this collection to the development of the field that Lerner helped establish.

Praise for this book
Lerner's fervent personal and professional commitment to developing the field of women's history should continue to spur researchers to study their own past, to pose new questions, and to offer new critiques and conceptualizations in an ongoing effort to practice women's history and women's studies.--Feminist Teacher
