Living with History / Making Social Change
This stimulating collection of essays in an autobiographical framework spans the period from 1963 to the present. It encompasses Gerda Lerner's theoretical writing and her organizational work in transforming the history profession and in establishing Women's History as a mainstream field.Six of the twelve essays are new, written especially for this volume; the others have previously appeared in small journals or were originally presented as talks, and have been revised for this book. Several essays discuss feminist teaching and the problems of interpretation of autobiography and memoir for the reader and the historian. Lerner's reflections on feminism as a worldview, on the meaning of history writing, and on problems of aging lend this book unusual range and depth.Together, the essays illuminate how thought and action connected in Lerner's life, how the life she led before she became an academic affected the questions she addressed as a historian, and how the social and political struggles in which she engaged informed her thinking. Written in lucid, accessible prose, the essays will appeal to the general reader as well as to students at all levels.Living with History / Making Social Changeoffers rare insight into the life work of one of the leading historians of the United States.

Corporatizing Higher Education
The process of changing U.S. higher education institutions along a corporate model has been going on for several decades. It consists of changes, some open, some obscured, on various fronts: the erosion of tenure by attrition; the simultaneous increase in the use of contingent faculty; the rise in tuition; the dramatic decrease in federal and state aid to universities and state colleges and the outsourcing of campus bookstores, food services, and custodial work. In this article, the author discusses some of these aspects of the process of corporatizing American higher education and their effects on students, faculty, and the content of education, as well as the general functioning and future of higher education. She presents the steps taken by some faculty against the corporatizing of American higher education. She suggests that persons interested in working on this issue might want to support the work of the joint OAH/AHA committee, formed in 2000, that has moved the issue of the two-tier labor market from a marginal concern of the professional organizations into a core issue. The committee has worked on various ways to improve the situation, setting up model contracts and defining best public policies. (Contains 5 figures.)

A Life of Learning
My life has been marked by breaks and discontinuities—abrupt fissures; destruction, loss, and new beginnings.

I have also been a successful insider, an institution-builder and a respected member of my profession. My various transformations have been driven by necessity, imposed by outside events, yet they have been counter-balanced by certain lifelong continuities: my work as a creative writer, my pervasive preoccupation with historical events and the shaping of history,
