This important book brings together the previously unpublished letters of three women, Lilian Ngoyi, Bessie Head, and Dora Taylor. While Ngoyi, Head, and the lesser-known Taylor each made vital and perhaps underappreciated contributions to the southern African struggle, these letters record their ordinary, domestic lives as well as touching on the sociopolitical struggles that they conducted from within their homes. The women did not know each other but are linked by their political sympathies, their comparable vocations and practices, and by the fact that each had to endure her own version of exile as a result of her activities. These letters record all three writers' joys and sorrows as they struggled to live principled lives in adversity.
