Ruth First (Paperback, illustrated edition)

In 1982 Ruth First was killed in Mozambique when she opened a parcel bomb sent to her by a South African hit squad. This was the tragic end to a life spent fighting racism.

Ruth was a powerful public speaker and one of the best journalists South Africa has ever had: always probing, questioning and exposing the brutality of apartheid for the world to see.

In this book we get to know the surprisingly shy Ruth - as a student and a teacher, a writer and an underground fighter, a socialist and an activist, a feminist and a mother. Ruth helped change the course of South African history and inspired many to join the struggle against apartheid.
