History of South African Women
Prior to democracy, South Africa was different than it is today. Women were subjected to oppression, and they had few rights. Repression, subjection, and tyranny characterized the society. The concept of a free society was unheard of, and any who dared to oppose apartheid oppression were confronted with ruthless and unrelenting brutality. These were the circumstances that the courageous and patriotic women who drafted the Women’s Charter in 1954 had to deal with.
