Her books include Fireweed: A Political Autobiography.
Reviews
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
