It builds on the theatrical analysis within play texts such as ‘You Strike the Woman, You Strike the Rock’ , ‘Glass House’ , ‘Born in the RSA’ , ‘Has Anyone Seen Zandile?’ and ‘So What’s New?’ to chart participation in the struggle against apartheid between 1975 and 1993, providing a political, economic and social herstory of South African women’s activism. Further, the focus on play texts addresses the dearth of knowledge of pertinent herstorical moments, women’s fight for political agency and equality, how apartheid laws affected women’s role in theatre and provides a feminist lens and insight into how these laws affected the herstory of South Africa. The inclusion of a critical perspective from women who wrote plays and worked in theatre takes the book beyond a purely theatrical analysis. It seeks to explore how theatre as a form can help write a ‘herstory’ of apartheid, not only to document the reality of women’s experiences but also as a means to imagine different realities.

I've ordered from Rarewaves here in the US and the UK multiple times, and continue to do so. They always seem to have something I can't find anywhere else at all or for a reasonable price. When I purchase used items, they are as described, if not a grade better. Aways a quick turnaround after ordering, every item arrives promptly, professionally packaged. Many orders have free shipping, even for solitary item orders. I never needed a reason to communicate, as I've had no cause. Recommended.
Received item as described and packaged well. Listing indicated shipping was free. Ordered on the 7th but by the 14th noticed it hadn’t been shipped yet. Seller responded quickly saying that during the purchase process that it said it would not be shipped until the 22nd because they use a fulfillment house. I don’t recall seeing anything about delayed shipping during the process or in the listing. While I appreciate the prompt response to my inquiry, other buyers should be aware of delays.
The book was brand still plastic wrapped. Looks exactly like the picture for a reasonable price including shipping. In perfect condition. Shipping was slow and I was worried that I was scammed again. Seller did respond to my message after a day and explained the item would be shipped within a week. The item shipping and tracking was updated by the date they stated. Took about 2 weeks to receive item. I’m usually impressed when item is shipped and received within a week.
