Using oral accounts of their personal histories, this book recounts the lives and experiences of 22 black South African women, all born before 1915, from one small town in the Western Transvaal. This approach gives a unique insight into the history of South Africa in the twentieth century, as well as into the lives and world views of the unknown women who have been part of that history.
