Women of Ideas
1 total work
Olive Schreiner's work was widely recognised by her contemporaries as of central importance to the understanding of women, ethics and morality, South Africa and apartheid, capitalism, socialism, death, marriage, prostitution, and the oppression of children. In this volume, Liz Stanley produces a major review of Schreiner's ideas, their history and their heritage. Stanley situates Schreiner's work in relation to that of other feminist theorists of her time, and evaluates her work from the viewpoint of present-day feminist theoretical, substantive and political concerns.
