The South African women's movement is one of the most celebrated on the African continent. Shireen Hassim examines interactions between the two as she explores the gendered nature of liberation and regime change. Her work reveals how women's political organizations both shaped and were shaped by the broader democratic movement. Alternately asserting their political independence and giving precedence to the democratic movement as a whole, women activists proved flexible and remarkably successful in influencing policy. At the same time, their feminism was profoundly shaped by the context of democratic and nationalist ideologies. In reading the last twenty-five years of South African history through a feminist framework, Hassim offers fresh insights into the interactions between civil society, political parties, and the state. Hassim boldly confronts sensitive issues such as the tensions between autonomy and political dependency in feminists' engagement with the African National Congress (ANC) and other democratic movements, and black-white relations within women's organizations.She offers a historically informed discussion of the challenges facing feminist activists during a time of nationalist struggle and democratization. Winner, Victoria Schuck Award for best book on women and politics, American Political Science Association "An exceptional study, based on extensive research.... Highly recommended."- Choice "A rich history of women's organizations in South African.... [Hassim] had observed at first hand, and often participated in, much of what she described. She had access to the informants and private archives that so enliven the narrative and enrich the analysis. She provides a finely balanced assessment."-Gretchen Bauer, African Studies Review 410 0$aWomen in Africa and the diaspora. 606 $aWomen$xPolitical activity$zSouth Africa 606 $aWomen and democracy$zSouth Africa 606 $aFeminism$zSouth Africa 606 $aWomen$zSouth Africa$xSocieties and clubs 607 $aSouth Africa$xPolitics and government$y20th century 615 0$aWomen$xPolitical activity 615 0$aWomen and democracy 615 0$aFeminism 615 0$aWomen$xSocieties and clubs. 676 $a306.2/082/0968 700 $aHassim$b Shireen$01193508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966224903321 996 $aWomen's organizations and democracy in South Africa$92806627 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02776nam 2200757Ia 450 001 9910954311303321 005 20251117075308.0 010 $a0-19-774017-0 010 $a1-282-32877-8 010 $a9786612328770 010 $a0-19-971014-7 024 7 $a10.1093/oso/9780195367560.001.0001 035 $a(CKB)1000000000807825 035 $a(EBL)472301 035 $a(OCoLC)502026366 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000340680 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11247544 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000340680 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10387296 035 $a(PQKB)10544254 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL472301 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10346447 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL232877 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC472301 035 $a(OCoLC)1406787107 035 $a(StDuBDS)9780197740170 035 $a(OCoLC)1230376958 035 $a(FINmELB)ELB166007 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000807825 100 $a20081031d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMuslims in America /$fEdward E.
