First formed in the early twentieth century, the ANC Women’s
League has grown into a leading organization in the women’s
movement in South Africa. The league has been at the forefront of
the nation’s century-long transition from an authoritarian state
to a democracy that espouses gender equality as a core
constitutional value. It has, indeed, always regarded itself as the
women’s movement, frequently asserting its primacy as a vanguard
organization and as the only legitimate voice of the women of South
Africa. But, as this deeply insightful book shows, the history of
the league is a more complicated affair—it was neither the only
women’s organization in the political field nor an easy ally for
South African feminism.
