Reviews

Examines the South African revolution from the point of view of women, and in this case, women with whom many of us outside of South Africa's borders are unfamiliar. That makes this a must-read! --Bill Fletcher, Jr., former president, TransAfrica Forum I am so grateful to Shanthini Naidoo for bringing to the forefront some of the women who gave up so much for their and their people's freedom. Say their Names! Say Their Names! --Dr. Gwendolyn Zoharah Simmons, activist and scholar of civil rights movement Recounting Herstories would be on time, anytime, but it is especially so as we also mark the 100th Anniversary of the Suffragette Movement in the U.S. and update the efforts of Black American women who, like the imprisoned women freedom fighters in apartheid South Africa, were initially not included. --Charlayne Hunter-Gault, rights activist, former anchor for PBS These women's... struggles are more relevant today than ever as young women in the U.S. and around the globe are fighting at the forefront of movements for climate justice, reproductive justice and against white supremacy and police violence. --Dr. Barbara Ransby, historian, activist, award-winning author This book does the tangible work of elevating the many untold stories and lives of women in the struggle for democracy in South Africa. As one turns the pages, you are left stirred with visceral emotions because we are these women, and they are us. This work is important in the collective healing of the wounds in our hearts. --Dr. Tlaleng Mofokeng, U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Right to Health, Member of South Africa's Commission for Gender Equality That a book about our abraded history is so readable is a remarkable achievement....Naidoo has produced one of the most important and gripping examinations of the gendered fight of apartheid and its human beings. --Janet Smith, Saturday Star, Johannesburg This is one of those books that make you shed tears in the middle of reading it. We are reminded of the sacrifices made by many of our people in the execution of the struggle for liberation. --Drt. Khulu Mbatha, The African Mirror An eloquent salute to the women whose shoulders we walk on. A vital reminder. --Ferial Haffajee, former editor, HuffPost South Africa A vital slice of South African history. Naidoo beckons these forgotten women back to center-stage to remind us, achingly, of what true courage and sacrifice mean. --Michele Magwood, former books editor, The Sunday Times (South Africa) Women Surviving Apartheid's Prisons is a compelling, heart-breaking, and inspiring work about a largely ignored side to the anti-apartheid/national democratic revolution in South Africa. So many of the stories that we hear or read about in connection with South Africa focus on great men. Taking nothing away from them, Women Surviving Apartheid's Prisons examines the South African revolution from the point of view of women, and in this case, women with whom many of us outside of South Africa's borders are unfamiliar. That makes this a must-read! --Bill Fletcher, Jr. Executive editor, globalafricanworker.com, past president, TransAfrica Forum
