South Africa in the C20th: Ordinary and Extraordinary Women Remember

Judith Coullie obtained her MA in English literature from Syracuse University (USA) and her PhD from the University of Natal. Before immigrating to New Zealand, she was Professor of English at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. She is currently a learning advisor at the University of Canterbury.

In this series we explore the history of South Africa over the last century. The events of the last years of the 1800’s to the early years of the 2000’s all impacted on the lives of South Africans, citizens and disenfranchised people alike. Within the historical narrative, we hear parts of women’s life stories. Women across race, class and ethnic divisions recount snippets of their lives.
