Together with To My Children's Children this makes a nice pair of autobios about the daily life of black women growing up under apartheid. I'm sorry she's so critical of the resistance groupings without putting them in context but she does make some strong points about the gender problems within student organizations which emerged out of the 1976 Soweto uprising. She's not a great writer but she does provide lots of details of womens' daily lives which are quite graphic. ( )
