Information is drawn from a variety of sources including government documents, personal correspondence, newspaper accounts, court records, and trial transcripts. What appears to be the only case in this matter involving African women to reach the South African Supreme Court is also included as a case study. Included is detailed information on the women involved in this resistance activity including defendants' lists obtained from court records. This work contextualizes perceptions of African women from the perspectives of European government officials, African men, the media, and the women themselves. Resistance activities are analyzed from a gendered perspective; it is concluded that women recognized the relationship between gender and power, and chose to view gender as mutable rather than be limited by their gender. |
