Gilda Lerner is an acknowledged expert. Her statement speaks for itself. Further proof is not required. You said as follows:

In the dark ages almost no one got educated- and certainly not women. Wrong again.

I provided proof from Gilda Lerner as follows:

(Lerner 6). For instance, during the Dark Ages women enjoyed wider literacy and access to education than men did, so the Dark Ages were probably only Dark for men.

No doubt the book you are hiding was written by a man.

(Lerner). If we are to adequately study the lives of women, we must be prepared to develop new ways of defining their experiences that are not based upon a male-oriented world view.
