Olive Schreiner (1855 1920), South African author and feminist, and
friend of Havelock Ellis and Eleanor Marx, was one of the most
important and challenging social commentators of her time. The
ninth of twelve children, she lacked formal education and was
taught by her mother. It was her 1883 novel Story of an African
Farm that secured her reputation as an author and feminist, which
her activities in England (1881 9) further consolidated. First
published in 1911, this acclaimed feminist work, one of the most
influential of the early twentieth century, established Schreiner's
place in the Women's Movement. A reworking of an earlier manuscript
destroyed during looting of her Johannesburg home by British
soldiers, it considers how the role and position of women has been
determined by the artificial constrictions of society. Schreiner
ends the work with her vision of true equality between man and
woman. This is the 1914 printing.
