Description
This evocative book tells of the lives and experiences of 22 black South African womenall born in the 1900sfrom one small town in the Western Transvaal. The women seem both ordinary and remarkable as we follow their lives through childhood and schooling, work in the city, marriage and family life, participation in urban resistance, and ultimate return to Phokeng by the 1980s.
This book's originality and power lies in the central place it gives to the oral histories on which it is based. This richly textured study gives us a uniquely qualitative insight into the lives and world views of black South African women.

Description
Oral testimony is given central place in this unique telling of South Africa's history.
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.
