Revered in South Africa as "An African American Mother of the
Nation," Madie Beatrice Hall Xuma spent her extraordinary life
immersed in global women's activism. Wanda A. Hendricks's biography
follows Hall Xuma from her upbringing in the Jim Crow South to her
leadership role in the African National Congress (ANC) and beyond.
Hall Xuma was already known for her social welfare work when she
married South African physician and ANC activist Alfred Bitini
Xuma. Becoming president of the ANC Women's League put Hall Xuma at
the forefront of fighting racial discrimination as South Africa
moved toward apartheid. Hendricks provides the long-overlooked
context for the events that undergirded Hall Xuma's life and work.
As she shows, a confluence of history, ideas, and organizations
both shaped Hall Xuma and centered her in the histories of Black
women and women's activism, and of South Africa and the United
States.
