a strong, outspoken woman's opinion,
By
This review is from: Woman and Labor (Paperback)
Olive Schreiner (born in 1855) was a Victorian revolutionist and feminist. At 12 she has left her parents home. At 15 she was an independant working woman. At 26 she was already an author of a successful novel ("The Story of an African Farm."), the first major white South African writer of fiction, and a member of England's literary and intellectual élite. Her books speak against late nineteenth-century, early twentieth-century imperialism, war, and oppression of women. Woman and Labour (1911) is her most influential feminist work, and was called the Bible of the early twentieth-century women's movement. Schreiner did not live to see the immense influence of her work, she died destitute in a boarding house in South Africa in 1913.
