About the Book

Drawing on the personal narratives of women from across the political spectrum in the Western Cape, this book presents an unusual and regional perspective on the political history of South African women. Within the context of the broad social and political processes affecting women at the time, the study examines some of the local social and political forces that informed women's lives in the Western Cape. The women's narratives provide nuanced insights into how issues of identity, race, class and culture intersected with politics in their lives, and demonstrate the sometimes painful intersections of the public and personal realms. This well-researched account of the struggles of diverse women is an engaging contribution to academic literature in the area.

Review :
"In her vivid account of women's lives in the Western Cape in the 1950s and 1960s, Helen Scanlon opens up important new perspectives on gender and politics under apartheid. Her book should be read by anyone interested in our recent past." --Christopher Saunders, professor, University of Cape Town
