This book is about women in South Africa and the circumstances of their lives. It is about the social conditions and the laws that affect them, both in those areas concerned with personal, sexual and marriage relations, with children and property, and in the wider field of education and conditions of work. It is also about the ways in which women have organised in the past and are fighting today to overcome the disabilities and difficulties under which they live. It is about the part they play in the struggle for the liberation of the people of South Africa.
