It is written in four thematic parts: Women in the pre-colonial and pre-union periods; Women in early to midth century South Africa; War: armed and mass struggle as gendered experiences; The s and beyond: new identities, new victories, new struggles.

CHAPTER 9 Women in the ANC-led underground Free download from R AY M O N D S U T T N E R The involvement of women in liberation struggles tends to attract controversy. This relates mainly to the extent and character of women’s participation. Some suggest that their activity merely replicated existing patriarchal relations or that women performed unimportant roles, while the men were cast as heroes. Much of this controversy relates to how one theorises the relationship between feminism and national liberation, in particular whether there is one feminism or whether we are speaking of feminisms and patriarchy or patriarchies. Although the focus of this chapter is on underground activities, it does relate to these problematic areas in the specific way in which they are manifested within the period of underground organisation in South Africa.1 What is the understanding of the scope of underground?
