| Abstract: | The chapters in this volume revisit the task of writing South Africa's history from a feminist perspective. The chapters are arranged chronologically in four parts: 1. Women in the pre-colonial and pre-Union periods; 2. Women in early to mid-twentieth century South Africa; 3. War: armed and mass struggles as gendered experiences; 4. The 1990s and beyond: new identities, new victories, new struggles.
