| Abstract: | This collection brings together Olive Schreiner's shorter writings on women and South Africa. It covers the full range of her political and imaginative works, and is arranged chronologically to trace her shifting alliances with both the feminist movement in England and the struggle for independence in South Africa. The writings have been arranged under the topics: prelude; gender, class and science; fantasy and the female body; and gender, race and politics. The introduction contains Schreiner's life history and the afterword Nadine Gordimer's review of 'Olive Schreiner', a biography by Ruth First and Ann Scott (1980). |
